Featured Lectures  The Wives of Henry VIII Aston Gardens at Pelican Marsh September 9 at 2 – 3:30pm, Monday Speaker: Nancy Maxwell Henry VIII’s six marriages were about both love and power; but romance with this king could be a dangerous game. He needed an heir, but what else was Henry hoping to achieve through these marriages? Who were his wives? Were they hapless victims or ambitious schemers or perhaps a comb- ination of the two? Each one’s story was unique. Let’s meet these six very memorable 16th century ladies of the English court.
