I'm reading Divorced, Beheaded, Survived by Karen Lindsey. It's a feminist reading, but it starts with Margaret Beaufort, Henry's paternal grandmother and goes through the experiences of each of Henry's wives in great detail and grace. It also goes into the reigns of his daughters Queen Mary & Queen Elizabeth.

Starkey's own writing tends to be pretty shakey itself on some issues, mainly due to his complete inability to set aside his politics. He's not the great authority he likes to market himself as.

This is Tudor history, not some obscure topic... surely there are dozens of good scholars that write decently about it?
