Description: The King's Confidante by Jean Plaidy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The inimitable Plaidy continues her Novels of the Tudors by taking readers into the life of Sir Thomas More, a man torn between devotion to religion and duty to state. Publisher Description An English lawyer and statesman, Sir Thomas More was a kind father who put as much emphasis on educating his daughters as on his son, declaring that women were just as intelligent as men. His favorite daughter, Meg, is the heroine of this novel in which we witness the everyday lives of people in Tudor England. Plaidy takes readers into a world far removed from the grandeur of the courts, into the home of a simple family and a caring father who only wants to do what is morally best–not just for his family, but for England.As secretary and personal adviser to King Henry VIII, More becomes increasingly influential in the government, welcoming foreign diplomats, drafting official documents, and serving as a liaison between the king and the Archbishop of York. His own household stands in startling contrast to the licentious Tudor court, but as lord chancellor he gains recognition and becomes indispensable to the king. Mores love of faith surpasses his duty to the crown, and his refusal to accept King Henry VIIIs claim to be supreme head of the Church of England ends his political career...and leads to his trial for treason. Author Biography JEAN PLAIDY is the pen name of the prolific English author Eleanor Hibbert, also know as Victoria Holt. The Kings Confidante is the fourth book in her nine-book series on the Tudors.
