Robert Lacey traces the story of this controversial figure - whose reign was marked by arbitary seizures of power, ruthlessness and cruelty - from the brilliance of his youth to gross and immobile old age.

More About the Author
The Queen - A Life in Brief.
I have been writing about the Queen now for nearly forty years, and this little book is intended to distil and re-shape what I've learned into one pleasant afternoon's reading - a summary of its predecessors Majesty (1977) and Monarch (2002, Royal in the UK), with further research and thoughts on Elizabeth II in the year of her Diamond Jubilee.
'Lege feliciter', as the Venerable Bede used to say - May you read happily!

Robert Lacey is an historian and biographer whose research has taken him from the Middle East ("The Kingdom: Arabia and the House of Saud") to America's Mid-West ("Ford: the Men and the Machine"). "Majesty", his pioneering biography of Queen Elizabeth II, is the definitive study of British monarchy - a subject on which Robert lectures around the world, appearing regularly on ABC's Good Morning America and on CNN's Larry King Live.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for an introduction to this amazing person,
By A Customer
This review is from: Henry VIII (Life and Times series) (Life & Times Series) (Paperback)
I am a newcomer to the life of this amazing English king, but this book has been truly fascinating. Well written, informative, and easy to read, I recommend Mrs. Fraser's book to anyone who wants to start learning about Henry. For an expert on the subject, this is probably too basic for you.
