She, however, is in love with Sir Thomas Seymour, brother to the late Queen Jane. Aware of his rival, Henry sends him abroad, and in 1543, Katharine reluctantly becomes Henry's sixth Queen. They forge a loving and affectionate relationship, but her enemies are poised to destroy her, and she has to tread a perilous path to avoid becoming the third of the King's wives to suffer execution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLess than four years into the marriage, Henry dies, leaving England's throne to nine-year-old Edward--a puppet in the hands of ruthlessly ambitious royal courtiers. Thomas Seymour wastes no time in asking Katharine to marry him. Thrilled at this renewed opportunity to wed her first love, Katharine doesn't realize that Sir Thomas now sees her as a mere stepping stone to the throne, his eye actually set on bedding and wedding the late King's fourteen-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThus begins a tangled tale of love, deception, and a devastating betrayal, bringing to a close the dramatic and violent reign of Henry VIII.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlison Weir\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the novels \u003ci\u003eKatheryn of Aragon, The True Queen; Anne Boleyn, A King's Obsession; Jane Seymour, The Haunted Queen; Anna of Kleve, The Princess in the Portrait; Katheryn Howard, The Scandalous Queen; The Marriage Game; A Dangerous Inheritance; Captive Queen; The Lady Elizabeth;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInnocent Traitor, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as numerous historical biographies, including \u003ci\u003eQueens of the Crusades, Queens of the Conquest, The Lost Tudor Princess, Elizabeth of York, Mary Boleyn, The Lady in the Tower, Mistress of the Monarchy, Henry VIII, Eleanor of Aquitaine, The Life of Elizabeth I, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Six Wives of Henry VIII.\u003c\/i\u003e She lives in Surrey, England, with her husband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 560\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 8 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50332884926701,"sku":"9781101966655","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/hdhWn0i7t9781101966655.webp?v=1784972571","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/katharine-parr-the-sixth-wife-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
