| 內容簡介： |
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.
