But the women Henry married were more than just six wives. They were the six queens. The six queens were formidable individuals. Some were ambitious, some brave, some ruthless, all changed history. They shaped the man who became the monster and in turn, they shaped England itself. But who were these women? What drove them? And what was it really like to be married to Henry the eighth? We'll dissect these marriages from the rival perspectives of Henry and his queens. We'll uncover the passions that created them, the obsessions that darken them and the betrayals that brought them to an end.
