      Book Overview

      The story of Henry VIII and his six wives is a well-known example of the caprice and violence that dominated that KingAEs reign. Now renowned historian Derek Wilson examines a set of relationships that more vividly illustrate just how dangerous life was in the court of the Tudor lion. He tells the interlocking stories of six menuall curiously enough named Thomasuwhose ambitions and principles brought them face to face with violent death, as recorded in a simple mnemonic: "Died, beheaded, beheaded, Self-slaughtered, burned, survived."
