King Henry VIII has a ton of books written about him. Why wouldn’t he? After all, he [Henry VIII] is one of the most famous monarchs to come out of the Tudor dynasty. Since we have a deep love of this genre and have written a list on the second of the famed king’s wives, Anne Boleyn, we thought we’d do one on him.
We’ve tried to keep the books to solely Henry VIII, but there is much more reading material on his six wives than on him. You’ll also notice that there are many books by the same author as they are experts on this topic.
As always, the linked books are non-sponsored from Amazon.
