Viac o knihe

Henry VIII is portrayed as a complex figure, marked by anxieties and insecurities, rather than merely the notorious 'monster' of history. The narrative emphasizes his martial priorities over marital ones, challenging the notion that his quest for a male heir was essential. The book reveals that many of Henry's challenges were self-inflicted, showcasing him as not only a flawed individual but also an ineffective ruler whose decisions negatively impacted his successors. Historian John Matusiak offers a vivid and intimate exploration of a king unworthy of his power.
