  • "[In this book, the author argues that] no one in history had a more eventful career in matrimony than Henry VIII. His marriages were daring and tumultuous, and made instant legends of six very different women. In this [book, the author] argues that the king was not a depraved philanderer but someone seeking happiness - and a son. Knowingly or not, he elevated a group of women to extraordinary heights and changed the way a nation was governed. [This book] examines the rituals of diplomacy, marriage, pregnancy, and religion that were part of daily life for women at the Tudor Court. [The author] reveals the central role that the queens played in determining policy. -Back cover."
  • "What makes a man marry six times? Was Henry VIII a voracious philanderer? On the contrary, says Dr. David Starkey, the King was seeking happiness - as well as hoping for a son. Starkey draws on the letters, artefacts and documents of the period, to give a richly textured picture of daily life at the Tudor Court from the woman's point of view."
