The marrying of Anne of Cleves : royal protocol in early modern England

Author:Retha Marvine Warnicke

Summary:This book is a study of the marrying of Anne of Cleves to King Henry VIII. It contains fascinating material - including 'demonic' interference and sexual politics at court - which differs greatly from the standard accounts, and a startling account of the king's failure to consummate his marriage.
