Divorce of Henry VIII
'An eye-opening book, an intricate and fascinating story' Hilary Mantel 1527. Enter Gregorio Casali, an Italian diplomat hired to represent Henry's interests in the Vatican. Henry, desperate to marry Anne Boleyn and ensure the Tudor line asks Pope Clement VII to grant him a divorce.
Before it is done, Henry will decide to divorce not just Catherine, but the Church itself. Through six years of persuasion, threats and bribery Casali lives by his wits, playing off one powerful patron against another, negotiating with ambassadors from Spain, France and beyond, each crowding the Vatican to press their interests in the Tudor break up. Set against the backdrop of war-torn Renaissance Italy, "The Divorce of Henry VIII" combines a gripping family saga with a highly charged political battle between the Tudors and the Vatican to reveal the extraordinary true story behind history's most infamous divorce.
