false <![CDATA[The Six Wives of Henry VIII]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166115512m/10104.jpg 10104 10 <div>The tempestuous, bloody, and splendid reign of Henry VIII of England (1509-1547) is one of the most fascinating in all history, not least for his marriage to six extraordinary women. In this accessible work of brilliant scholarship, Alison Weir draws on early biographies, letters, memoirs, account books, and diplomatic reports to bring these women to life. Catherine of Aragon emerges as a staunch though misguided woman of principle; Anne Boleyn, an ambitious adventuress with a penchant for vengeance; Jane Seymour, a strong-minded matriarch in the making; Anne of Cleves, a good-natured and innocent woman naively unaware of the court intrigues that determined her fate; Catherine Howard, an empty-headed wanton; and Catherine Parr, a warm-blooded bluestocking who survived King Henry to marry a fourth time.</div> 430173 1991 The Six Wives of Henry VIII total:2341|5:843|4:1030|3:427|2:33|1:8| 2341 9690 3896 322 4 6 false false Wed May 21 10:05:47 -0700 2008 Wed May 21 10:12:04 -0700 2008 Weir isn't completely unbiased in her description of Henry and his various women, but...more...]]> 4 2 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 18:21:50 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 16:22:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sun Mar 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Oct 12 21:16:33 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 08 22:08:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 29 12:04:41 -0700 2007 Thu Mar 27 11:04:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Tue Mar 27 06:03:32 -0700 2007 Thu Mar 29 09:15:09 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Mar 10 11:33:06 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 12:49:27 -0700 2009 The Six Wives of Henry VIII chronicles the lives of each of Henry VIII's wives starting with Katherine of Aragon, his first wife.
