Henry's Defence

by Maggie Ann Steele

Henry VIII is remembered as 'the fat bloke who chopped his wives heads off'. This little tale tries to have us see things from his point of view as he writes a 'defence' for his daughter Elizabeth mainly to explain why he killed her mother but also to give us a glimpse of the man he was and how he saw himself.
