Summary
"Henry's will is one of the most intriguing and contested documents in British history. Historians have disagreed over its intended meaning, its authenticity and validity, and the circumstances of its creation. As well as examining the background to the drafting of the will and describing Henry's last days, Suzannah Lipscomb offers her own ... interpretation of one of the most significant constitutional documents of the Tudor period"-- Dust jacket.
