| About the Books |
You’ve heard the story from the Queens’ perspective, now hear it from the king’s. The Henrician Chronicle shines a torch into the heart and mind of England’s most tyrannical king.
Book One: A Matter of Conscience: The Aragon Years
‘A king must have sons: strong, healthy sons to rule after him.’
On the unexpected death of his brother, Arthur, Henry Tudor becomes heir to the throne of England. The intensive education that follows offers Henry a model for future excellence; a model that he is doomed to fail.
On his accession, he chooses his brother’s widow, Caterina of Aragon, to be his queen. Together they plan to reinstate the glory of days of old and fill the royal nursery with boys. But when their first-born son dies at just a few months old, and subsequent babies are born dead or perish in the womb, the king’s golden dreams are tarnished. Christendom mocks the virile prince. Caterina’s fertile years are over yet all he has is one useless living daughter, and a baseborn son.
He needs a solution but stubborn to the end, Caterina refuses to step aside.
Book Two: A Matter of Faith: The Days of the Pheonix
The virile young prince is now a damaged middle-aged king, as his optimism diminishes, his intractability increases, and the wounded lion begins to roar.
Book Three: A Matter of Time, The Dying of the Light
Briefly invigorated by his new bride, Henry cannot win Katherine Howard’s heart. Broken by her infidelity, she becomes the second of his wives to die on the scaffold, leaving the king friendless and alone.
