Henry Tudor is probably the best known king in English history,
most famous for having had six wives. Henry wanted immortality, not
as a notorious husband, but as a king who made England strong and
powerful. Essential to that, he believed, was the provision of a
male heir, but Henry became so desperate to father a legitimate son
that he divorced one wife, beheaded another, disposed of two chief
ministers and declared himself head of the Church in England. His
personality was overwhelming. He could be boisterously playful and
passionately in love, but, as disappointments mounted, he became
increasingly bitter and tyrannical. This seminal Pitkin guide to
one of England's greatest monarchs has been revised and updated for
2019. Fully illustrated throughout in a fresh, contemporary style,
and featuring all the lavish paintings of the time, it also
includes all the latest representations of Henry VIII in the media,
