HENRY VIII: A Henry VIII Biography
Arthur Tudor, born on a fine September day of 1486, was named after King Arthur, hero of legend, the romantic ideal of leadership, chivalry, knighthood and righteous rule. The legendary King Arthur presided over the capital of Camelot, home of the Knights of the Round Table, a place of peace and stability, prosperity and culture. The story ends brutally - in tragic romance, betrayal, death and decline - but the vision of this shining, titanic figure of lore struck a chord in the people of England... including Henry VII, who named his eldest son and heir after him. Henry VII is perhaps best known for his six marriages, but there's a lot more to his story than a few romantic scandals.
