Fatal Throne

Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, SURVIVED....

To be the wife of the King is an envious position, unless that position is to be married to Henry VIII. Each wife went into the marriage hoping for the best, but Henry was never satisfied. His best loved wife, was the one that gave him his longed for son, and she died from it. She did not live long enough to disappoint him.

The wives of Henry VIII come together to tell their stories. The heartbreak, the highs, the lows, and the infidelities - all are laid out here as their stories come to light. Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Katherine Parr. Each of these ladies hoped for the best - they gambled with their lives and their positions - and many of them lost the ultimate wager.

Interesting read, and very good book! I enjoyed it immensely. A little bit of graphic writing, so mature audiences only!
