My eyes were going for olympic gold in hurdling during the reading of this, they were trying to skip over small words to catch a glimpse of names and places.

Excitement to the nth degree... and on top of that there is room for another; this didn't smack of the grand finale even though the sixth wife has just been wed.

Spring, 1543. King Henry VIII is wooing Lady Catherine Parr, whom he wants for his sixth wife. But this time the object of his affections is resisting. Archbishop Cranmer and the embattled Protestant faction at court are watching keenly, for Lady Catherine is known to have reformist sympathies.
