Jindich VIII. – Srdce a Koruna Weirov Alison (2025)

Alison Weirs most ambitious Tudor novel tells the compelling story of a man who is by turns brilliant, romantic, cruel and ruthless: the Renaissance king who forever changed the face of England. The second-born Prince Henry grows up in royal palaces, dreaming of tournaments and heroic deeds that would match the knights of Arthurian legend, as well as the golden age of kings he expects to follow his older brother. The premature death of his firstborn brother Arthur unexpectedly makes him King of England. As his power grows, Henry struggles inwardly between reason and feeling, love and duty. He rules as an all-powerful king anointed by God, yet his prayers for the birth of a son remain unanswered for years. The future of the Tudor dynasty depends on the existence of heirs, and the crushing duty to produce them ultimately changes the course of history.
