Description: Kew, Surrey, The National Archives. 2007, First Edition. (ISBN: 9781903365991). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New copy with an As New dustjacket. 240 pages. 30 illustrations. From Renaissance prince to bloated monarch, Henry VIII dominated his country and court for almost 40 years. Destined for the centre stage of Europe, united with the royal line of Aragon, Henry's dramatic break with the Church of Rome led his kingdom into years of turmoil. Yet the headstrong monarch was also a shrewd operator who managed the powerful personalities around him to build one of the most momentous, and controversial, of English reigns. Professor Loades's book explores the fluctuating, often fraught relationship between king and court, his Church and his people, revealing the strategies that bolstered Henry's power, from the shaping of his royal image to the treatment of key players such as Wolsey, Cromwell, Fisher and More. 3. As New/As New.
