原文簡介

HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES

King Henry the Eighth of England was famous for many

things, but he was also famous because he had six wives.

He was not a kind husband. People say that when he was

looking for a new wife, careful fathers took their daughters

away from the palace. They did not want the King to

choose their daughter to be the next Queen, because some

of his Queens had very short and unhappy lives.

Why did King Henry divorce two wives, and kill two

后都很短命，而且都很不幸。

呢?他的王后們到底是什么樣子呢?

他的第六位妻子凱瑟琳·帕爾在國王去世后依然健在。

一天地回到了白廳的王宮，發現了一個裝著舊信的盒子，這

些信都是寫給國王的——他的前五位妻子每人一封，她坐

下來把信念給自己年輕的侍女瑪格麗持聽。第一封信來自

西班牙國王的女兒，阿拉貢的凱惡琳，她和亨利做了24年的

夫妻：她孤獨地郁郁而終，沒有一個朋友……
