    About this audiobook

    Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.

    In his ambition to provide a male heir to the throne, Henry VIII married six times. Divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, caused England’s break from the Catholic church in Rome. He went on to divorce Anne of Cleves and behead Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard for infidelities. Jane Seymour died and Catherine Parr survived Henry.

    Henry VIII’s Wives in an Hour will introduce you to these six entirely diverse and captivating personalities and the events that propelled them to their individual fates. You will learn which wife had what impact on Henry and England and understand why Henry and his six wives form the most popular period of Tudor history.

    • 3/5
      This book does a good job of achieving its goal - a quick to read, easy to understand summary of each of the 6 wives of Henry the VIII. It is a great memory refresher!
    • 3/5
      Short and concise. Did what it promises on the cover - provided me with a basic overview and understanding about the politics around Henry VIII and his marriages in an hour.
    • 3/5
      A clearly written and brief academically sound account of Henry 8 Wives that can be read in an hour about a turbulent time in British History.
      Henry 8 reign was dominated by his love life and pursuing the woman he wanted at any cost. That cost was orchestrated by a conniving Bishop and court intrigue which helped put women to death who shouldn't have been. Unjust laws also play a part.
