David Starkey

Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII

Hay Festival 2004, Sunday 6 June 2004

The charismatic and meticulous historian focuses on Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, on translation of love letters and the schism with Rome. The scholarship is thrilling, the gossip is salacious and true, but the genius is in the telling of the tale.
