About the book

King Henry's Prayer Book is a richly annotated devotional book associated with Henry VIII. Its prayers and religious texts are accompanied by the king's own notes and markings, providing a direct connection with Henry's personal reading and religious concerns. The manuscript offers a fascinating window into Tudor devotion and the complex religious world of a monarch whose reign transformed the English church.
