Henry VIII's Last Victim: The Life And Times Of Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (2007)

About book Henry VIII's Last Victim: The Life And Times Of Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (2007)

A good biography of Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey, who was an English poet, courtier to Henry VIII, and a military leader. Jessie Childs brings in details about the nobility and daily life to attempt to give a more complete picture of Surrey's life. However, I was somewhat disappointed in the discussion of the events leading to Surrey's execution, although this may be more a problem of sparse documentation than a failure of the author's. Nevertheless, this book provides a good overview of a noble family's fortunes during the period.
