Henry VIII's wives

The wife that most fascinates me is Anne Boleyn.
If you would like to know more about her, click on the picture below

If you would like to read a book about the wives of Henry VIII I can recommend the following:
'The Six Wives of Henry VIII' by Antonia Fraser
'The Queens of Henry VIII' by David Starkey
'Anne Boleyn-Fatal Attractions' by G.W. Bernard
and 'The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn' by Robin Maxwell which is fiction based on facts. If you live in Madrid I can lend them to you!
Look at this diagram to help you understand more about Henry's six wives at a glance
