King Henry VIII remains one of the most controversial figures in our history. Wilson draws together all the most recent discoveries and looks afresh at the fascinating life and times of the Tudor monarch, particularly, looking at the King’s childhood which is too often dismissed, and the influences of his father and grandfather. Interwoven with an insightful account of how England became a Protestant nation and Henry VIII’s life within the court and, of course, all his wives, this Brief History will bring this enigmatic monarch and the dramatic changes that occurred in Britain during his reign to life.

The more interesting point of this book is the approach it takes to the situation of Henry's reign and his struggles with his own belief, conscience, and the events of the day. It specifically speaks to the evangelical reform movement which was unfolding rapidly in England during this time and the impact this had upon his choices and decisions as a monarch given his personality traits. It does examine his relationship to his spouses, family, close confidants, and advisers in this capacity. The speculations of these theories and the evidence presented is compelling and worth study.
