"Consorts of the British monarchs have sometimes been regarded as dangerously influential on their husbands. Mark Hichens's book surveys the wives of the English kings since the Hanoverian succession. Some played a major role in preserving the monarchy, while others faced a harder road, one being imprisoned for life, another arraigned before the House of Lords, while a third has been described as the most wronged wife in Europe. From George III's imposed-upon wife Charlotte, to Mrs. Simpson, to Elizabeth the Queen Mother." --Publisher's description.

One of the most powerful monarchs in British history, Henry VIII ruled England in unprecedented splendour. In this remarkable composite biography, Alison Weir brings Henry's six wives vividly to life, revealing each as a distinct and compelling personality in her own right. Drawing upon the rich fund of documentary material from the Tudor period, The Six Wives of Henry VIII shows us a court where personal needs frequently influenced public events and where a life of gorgeously ritualised pleasure was shot through with ambition, treason and violence. 'At last we have the truth about Henry VIII's wives. This book is as reliable and scholarly as it is readable' Evening Standard
