A gripping and revealing audiobook that brings to life the rise, power and true character of Henry VIII's most influential servant

Known widely as Henry VIII's 'right-hand man', Cromwell has captured imaginations throughout the centuries: but who was he really? In this major new biography, leading historian Tracy Borman examines the life, loves and legacy of the man who changed the shape of England forever.

Born a lowly tavern keeper's son, Cromwell rose swiftly through the ranks to become Henry VIII's right hand man, and one of the most powerful figures in Tudor history. The architect of England's break with the Roman Catholic Church and the dissolution of the monasteries, he oversaw seismic changes in England's history. Influential in securing Henry's controversial divorce from Catherine of Aragon, many believe he was also the ruthless force behind Anne Boleyn's downfall and subsequent execution.

Although for years he has been reviled as a Machiavellian schemer who stopped at nothing in his quest for power, Thomas Cromwell was also a loving husband, father and guardian, a witty and generous host, and a loyal and devoted servant. With fresh research and new insights into Cromwell's family life, his household and his close relationships, Tracy Borman tells the true story of Henry VIII's most faithful servant.©2014 Tracy Borman Europa Großbritannien Historisch

The narrator was very engaging and am excluding his "performance" from this evaluation. Unfortunately, the male actor's contribution to this was dreadful. If the book wasn't so interesting, his incoherent accents and strange slurring intonation would have led me to ditch the book. I'm perplexed as to why he was selected as his acting would make this entirely inaccessible for anyone marginally hard of hearing.

Awful accents

The second narrator really spoiled it for me with these fake accents. The narrative was not very engaging either.
