An evening with Alison Weir: Henry the Eight, The Heart and the Crown

Six wives. One King. You've heard their stories. Now it’s time to hear his.

Come and join us to hear Alison talk about her magnificent new Tudor novel. A second son, not born to rule, becomes a man, and a king… In grand royal palaces, Prince Harry grows up dreaming of knights and  chivalry – and the golden age of kings that awaits his older brother.  But Arthur’s untimely death sees Harry crowned King Henry of England. As his power and influence extends, so commences a lifelong battle  between head and heart, love and duty. Henry rules by divine right, yet  his prayers for a son go unanswered.  The future of his great dynasty depends on an heir. And the crown weighs heavy on a king with all but his one true desire.
