Note(s) : "In 1533 the English monarch Henry VIII decided to divorce his wife of twenty years
Catherine of Aragon in pursuit of a male heir to ensure the Tudor line. He was also
head over heels in love with his wife's lady in waiting Anne Boleyn, the future mother
of Elizabeth I. But getting his freedom involved a terrific web of intrigue through
the enshrined halls of the Vatican that resulted in a religious schism and the formation
of the Church of England. Henry's man in Rome was a wily Italian diplomat named Gregorio
Casali who drew no limits on skullduggery including kidnapping, bribery and theft
to make his king a free man. In this absorbing narrative, winner of the Rome Fellowship
prize and University of Durham historian Catherine Fletcher draws on hundreds of previously-unknown
Italian archive documents to tell the colorful tale from the inside story inside the
Vatican"--Provided by publisher
