"The Age of Henry VIII" is a wonderful interpretation of the magnificent life of Henry VIII, the first hero of the Tudor dynasty, the promoter of the English religious reform and the founder of modern Britain, and the great success of the Tudor dynasty's domestic and foreign affairs history under his rule. How did Henry VIII ascend to the throne of England? Are the achievements of the early years of his reign solely the work of Thomas Wolsey? What impact did the marriages of Henry VIII and six queens including Catherine of Aragon have on the Kingdom of England? Was Henry VIII's break with the Holy See just because of his divorce? What is the attitude towards the Reformation in England at home and abroad? Was the downfall of powerful ministers Thomas Wolsey and Thomas Cromwell simply due to their failure to successfully deal with Henry VIII's marital problems? In a turbulent and ever-changing international situation, how did Henry VIII rely on his extraordinary courage to face risks, flexibly handle foreign relations, and actively protect the interests of the Kingdom of England? Is he a wise king or a tyrant? This book will answer it in detail.
