Lydia Monks brings to life the six queens of Henry VIII in spectacular, fully-illustrated style, including a foreword from Tudor historian, author and broadcaster Suzannah Lipscomb.

Everyone knows the rhyme: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. But how much do you know about the women behind it? From loyal and devout Katherine of Aragon to the elegant Anne Boleyn, through to the scholar and survivor: Catherine Parr, learn all about six fascinating women with one thing in common: a difficult husband.

Perfect for Tudor enthusiasts who want to learn more about six queens who changed history.
