Alison Weir has put out another well researched book, this time about King Henry the 8. It was interesting reading the perspective of the king through his marriages and various affairs in the political sphere. I found the book a bit dry in parts, mainly because it was more on the politics of King Henry’s life versus the sexy scandals that is usually focused on. Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in the Tudors.
