Henry’s Rule

This new biography of Henry viii tells the tale of one of the most influential monarchs in the world’s history. Detailing Henry’s assent to the throne of Britain and detailing his momentous break from the Roman Catholic church as a result of internal disputes concerning his love life where he established the Anglican church, the text goes some way to advance new discoveries about Britain’s break from Rome and the agent that caused the breakdown.
Henry and his team of men also transformed the country by modernising many of its institutions and empowering them with authority and discretion.
Henry is a tale of one king and how his country became mixed up and caught up in one man’s personal issues, leading Britain to acquire new powers and influence in the world.
