About this title: A detailed biography of Henry VIII, set against the cultural, social and political background of his court, and the splendour of his many sumptuous palaces. Seen from this new perspective, he emerges as a fully-rounded and realistic personality, not the two-dimensional caricature of popular misconception.

Description: Very good. ( Jonathan Cape 2001, Paperback. )In this fascinating work, Weir provides astute, well-researched picture of Henry's entire Court, with its often claustrophobic atmosphere; from his friends and companions, through to his mistresses and their families, his advisors, chancellors and churchmen. Everyone is placed in context so that their motivations and actions can be fully understood. So we have many biographies in the one work, especially of people like Thomas More, or Henry's two ... read more

"An absolutely magnificent book worthy of such a man. I carry this book almost everywhere - it lives in the trunk of my car. Stranded somewhere with nothing to read? Hours to kill at the car dealership? Waiting for the dentist? It's always an immersing read, just pop over many centuries to immerse yourself in King Henry's court - a wonderful diversion and education."
"I loved this book. Having a sincere love of British History, particularly medieval history, I could not rush this book. I could have just devoured the 496 pages, but it was so good I wanted to make it last as long as I could. It is really a shame that Henry VIII has such bad reputation and that the main thing he is remembered for is the beheading of his wives (there were really only 2 of the 6 that died that way), because he was a remarkably accomplished man."
