The Other Tudors: Henry VIII's Mistresses and Bastards

by Philippa Jones

Overview

Everybody knows the destiny of Henry VIII’s six wives: divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived. But behind this familiar story, lies a far more complex truth: the extraordinary tales of the other women Henry loved but never married, the mistresses who became queens—and of his many illegitimate children, both acknowledged and not.

The Other Tudors: Henry VIII’s Mistresses and Bastards takes us deep into the web of secrets and deception at the Tudor Court, bringing together for the first time, the full story of Henry VIII’s love affairs and exploring their impact on the Tudor dynasty.
