#50 No more ménage à trois - Ep 5 Henry VIII: the King, his wife, his lover, the French
In a dynamite French document from August 1530, still overlooked by historians, the King of France offers to send troops to England to defend Henry VIII against the Spanish. No French government before or since has ever promised to send troops to defend England. Does this explain Henry’s sudden move in August 1530 to go on the offensive against Rome and the clergy in England and end the comfortable ménage à trois with his wife and his mistress, Anne?
