Description
Later Henrician years fill the third volume of Froude's History, in the 1870 printing. Thomas Cromwell falls from power and goes to his death. The king's six wives meet their varied, often tragic fates as his rule hardens into tyranny.
Froude does not flinch from his hero's dark side in this book. Executions, forced oaths, and fear mark the court he describes. Yet he still defends the Reformation as a needful break with Rome. The volume shows Tudor power at its most ruthless, and it tests the reader's sympathy for both the king and the cause he served.
