The Mistresses of Henry VIII
Thursday 27 November 19:30 at CryerArts, Carshalton A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Henry VIII is famous as the King who married six times; his matrimonial adventures have been a source of enduring fascination for centuries. Yet relatively little is known about the King`s extra-marital adventures. He prided himself on being a virtuous prince, and when it came to sex, he was discreet, even prudish, so the evidence for his affairs is sparse. Yet it is clear that he took a number of mistresses, enjoyed fleeting sexual adventures, and was as promiscuous as most Renaissance rulers. Alison Weir has crafted a fascinating narrative from the fragmentary sources, which throws light on Henry VIII`s private life, revealing striking insights into the man and his psyche. All Seats £7 To book, please contact Susan Hoskin at susan.hoskin@gmail.com or by ‘phone on 07721 852378. Alternative print out and post our Booking Form from HERE. |
