Book description
From the moment of Katharine's betrothal to Arthur, Prince of Wales,
she looked upon herself as the future Queen of England. But Arthur died
just after their marriage and it was as the wife of his brother, Henry
VIII, that she went to her coronation. This delightful, richly
tapestried novel tells of her life with Henry - the many happy years;
the birth of their daughter, Mary Tudor; her popularity with the people;
and, above all, her constant and unswerving love for the king. But after
nearly twenty years, Henry - his eyes fixed firmly on the ambitious
young Anne Boleyn - repudiated their marriage, submitted Katharine to
the humiliations of a 'trial' and banished her from his life. The King's
Pleasure is a brilliant re-creation of one of history's greatest
tragedies. This is a story which will impress Katharine in the reader's
mind as a noble woman and a great queen.
