| Abstract | Henry VIII's relationships with women in his adult life were not plain sailing. He was the Tudor king who had six wives, two of whom he murdered. But what of the three powerful Tudor women who surrounded Henry VIII in his early life? The ones who knew him before the marriages, before the beheadings, before the tyranny? One was Queen of England, one was Queen of Scotland and the other was Queen of France - but for Henry VIII these women were his mother and sisters. Henry's Roses explores the lives of these three women, telling the story of how their fate was entwined with that of the most infamous monarch of them all. |
