Who did Henry VIII think he was?
The talk promises to be very interesting, ending the Christ Church History Society’s (S.R. Gardiner Society) year of events by returning to the (Re-)Founder of Christ Church itself, Henry VIII. From a leading academic on sixteenth century British history, the talk will examine the reputation of Henry VIII down the ages, but more importantly, how Henry VIII viewed himself, and how that can influence our own interpretations of him.
