After reading most of the published books about King Henry VIII, visiting the palaces, going on Henry's progresses and now being King Henry VIII for one year , this has givien me an insight into the mind of the Monarch.
I have travelled 15,000 miles over an 8 month period to see all of Henry's residences, even his lost ones. Finally I have worn his clothes, looked like him, walked like him and moved amongst his admirers and haters.
Therefore the file offered here freely, is my inside view of King Henry VIII. Read it with an open mind and then form your own judgements. But please don't come back at me because you want an argument, I'll just dump your email.

If I am forced to say which my favourite books were, again only my view.
1. For factual evidence, written in an unbiased manner and absorbing in style. King Henry VIII by Alison Weir.
2. For accurate facts used in a fictional novel, written with passion, although an Elizabeth I story, Henry pops up in full character throughout it. Legacy by Susan Kay. You'll need a hanky with this one, man or woman.
