The Lazy Historian's Guide to the Wives of Henry VIII
(2018)A non fiction book by Jillianne Hamilton
You can't spell "Tudor dynasty" without getting "nasty".
So, you've watched The Tudors, and you've read Wolf Hall, but do you know the real story of Catherine, Anne, Jane, Anne, Katheryn, and Katherine? (Best name for an all-woman post-medieval law firm ever.)
Love affairs, court scandal, executions - just your average Tuesday in the Tudor court.
Penned by a lifelong "Henry Head", The Lazy Historian's Guide to the Wives of Henry VIII combines Jillianne Hamilton's sassy, fun, and snarky storytelling with one of history's most alluring eras. Focusing on the lives of the wives, and less about the dudes around them, The Lazy Historian's Guide to the Wives of Henry VIII gives the six unfortunate queens the biography for which they almost certainly wouldn't have asked.
