The six wives & many mistresses of Henry VIII : the women's stories

Licence, Amy2015
Book
For a king renowned for his love life, Henry VIII has traditionally been depicted as something of a prude, but the story may have been different for the women who shared his bed. How did they take the leap from courtier to lover, to wife? What was Henry really like as a lover? Henry's women were uniquely placed to experience the tension between his chivalric ideals and the lusts of the handsome, tall, athletic king. This book tells what it really was like to be Mrs Henry VIII?
