‘An eye-opening book, an intricate and fascinating story’ - Hilary Mantel.

In 1527, Henry, desperate to marry Anne Boleyn and secure the Tudor lineage, asks Pope Clement VII to grant him a divorce. Enter Gregorio Casali, an Italian diplomat hired to represent Henry's interests in Rome. Through six years of persuasion, threats, and bribery, Casali survives by cleverly playing all sides, negotiating with ambassadors from Spain, France, and other countries, who were pushing in Rome to advance their interests in unseating the Tudors. Before the process is over, Henry will decide to divorce not only Catherine but also the Church itself. Set against the backdrop of war-torn Renaissance Italy, "Henry VIII's Divorce" combines a gripping family drama with a highly charged political battle between the Tudors and the Vatican, revealing the incredible true story behind history's most famous divorce.
