Although he was never faithful Jones sees him as a serial monogamist: he spent his life in search of a perfect woman a search that continued even as he lay dying. This book brings together for the first time the 'other women of King Henry VIII. When he first came to the throne Henry VIII's mistresses were dalliances the playthings of a powerful and handsome man. However when Anne Boleyn disrupted that pattern ousting Katherine of Aragon to become Henry's wife a new status quo was established. Suddenly noble families fought to entangle the king with their sisters and daughters; if wives were to be beheaded or divorced so easily the mistress of the king was in an enviable position. Yet he loved each of his wives and mistresses he was a romantic who loved being in love but none of these loves ever fully satisfied him; all were ultimately replaced.
