<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this spellbinding portrait of two forgotten women who helped shape a dynasty and a nation, Perry returns to a distant time and place with the same panache that made Alison Weir's "The Wives of Henry VIII" a phenomenon. 21 photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Henry VIII's sisters, neglected by generations of historians, affected the lives of their contemporaries much more forcefully than did any of their brother's famous six wives. In <i>The Sisters of Henry VIII, </i> Maria Perry brings history alive by examining the lives of these extraordinary women and their influence on Europe in the Tudor Age. Margaret became queen of Scotland at age thirteen; family members arranged beautiful Mary's betrothal to the aging king of France when she was twelve. <p/> But both women chose their second husbands for love: Margaret married and divorced twice after Henry's advancing armies slaughtered her first husband and kidnapped her children; Mary risked execution by proposing to the handsome duke of Suffolk. Groundbreaking in both depth and scope, Perry's work rescues two remarkable princesses from the shadows of history and offers a fresh interpretation of a royal family and an era sure to fascinate readers of Alison Weir and Antonia Fraser.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Maria Perry</b> is the author of many books, including her acclaimed biography of Elizabeth I, <i>The Word of a Prince</i>. She lives in London.
