Description:
UK.: Sutton Publishing Ltd, 2002. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 2nd Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. It took HenryVIII twenty - eight years, three wives, and a break with Rome before he secured a legitimate male heir. Yet for most of the time he already had a son -the illegitimate Henry Fitzroy. In the first book to examine his life in full, the author investigates just how close he came to being crowned Henry IX. She concludes with an intriguing epilogue which demonstrates just how different the history of England could have been, had Fitzroy survived his father. The text block is marked on all its edges, and the DW has damp patches to its top and base, front and back.
