Larger than life in every sense, Henry VIII was Britain’s most absolute monarch – but he was not born to rule.

His subsequent quest for fame was as obsessive as that of any modern celebrity, and his yearning for a male heir drove him into dangerous territory.          The culmination of a lifetime’s research, David Starkey’s biography is an unforgettable portrait of the man behind the controversies, the prince turned tyrant who continues to tower over history.","brand":"David Starkey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47852958351678,"sku":"9780007247721","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780007247721.jpg?v=1715042542","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780007247721","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
