Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.
In his ambition to provide a male heir to the throne, Henry VIII married six times. Divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, caused England’s break from the Catholic church in Rome. He went on to divorce Anne of Cleves and behead Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard for infidelities. Jane Seymour died and Catherine Parr survived Henry.
Henry VIII’s Wives in an Hour will introduce you to these six entirely diverse and captivating personalities and the events that propelled them to their individual fates. You will learn which wife had what impact on Henry and England and understand why Henry and his six wives form the most popular period of Tudor history.

So after this book, I encountered the rhyme "Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived" on a piece of art at an art museum, and I actually knew what it meant (I would have been 'blind' to it otherwise). (the females in my party already knew, no wonder there).
Good for Refresh or Introduction
