Henry VIII, King of England, Hörbuch, Digital, 23min
A time of extreme religious unrest, a most magnificent and dangerous court, and strong ideas about the need for a perfect heir: all this may have been enough to transform an intelligent, compassionate and generous young king into such a bloody monster that he was eventually called the "English Nero". Henry VIII is most remembered for his six marriages, two of which ended with beheadings. He divorced his first wife, earning excommunication from the Church who wouldn't recognize the annulment of his marriage; he subsequently severed all ties with the Pope and had himself declared Supreme Head of the Church of England, before moving on to have his new wife executed. He thus went through four more marriages, while applying radical changes to the English Constitution which greatly expanded royal power. Discover the tumultuous story of one of England's most gruesome kings, a man of fascinating contradictions with an iron fist, in this lively and documented audiobook. Language: English.

When I Was Yours , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
Marry me. "What?" I stared back at him, unblinking. He moved closer, taking my face in his hands. "I love you, Evie. I look into the future, and the only thing I see clearly is you. Marry me." What's an 18-year-old girl who was madly in love with her 19-year-old boyfriend say? Of course, I said yes. Twenty-four hours later, I married Adam Gunner at a Vegas chapel to the sounds of "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. Not the best omen. I get that now. Then, exactly one week later, I left him. I walked out, leaving behind my wedding ring, annulment papers, and my heart, and he never knew why. I haven't seen him since. Not in 10 long years. Now, he's here, standing before me. Looking at me with nothing but hurt and hatred in his eyes, he wants answers. Answers I can't give. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bailey Carr, Vikas Adam.

Plea to the Warrior Princess: The Princess Tales Trilogy, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 518min
Thaddeus raised a finger toward the distant prison cell. “No doubt the barbarian son of Thor is watching, waiting to see if the princess will accept the annulment of their marriage and set him free. And surely, he must know that if she does not set him free, then she has sentenced him to death and has doomed her own body to be burned at the stake.”Stillness fell over the gathered crowd of Roman citizens. Colesia straightened against the iron stake where she was bound and stared southward. She recalled feeling the presence of Zarkanis as he beheld her from his barred chamber within the Pithranian dungeon; and although she could not see him now, her soul bore witness to his gaze. Plea to the Warrior Princess is the third book in a trilogy beginning with Princess Vayle and followed by Tale of the Vanished Princess. It features a breathtaking consummation to the saga woven through the narration of the first two novels. All three novels proffer unique and creative medieval fantasy and romance, packed with intrigue and adventure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Allyn Althen.

Anne Boleyn: A Life from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min

The true story, however, is far more complex. Inside you will learn about:Early Life as a Lady-in-waitingThe King’s Great MatterAnne Ascends the ThroneAnother Birth, Another TragedyTrial and ExecutionAnd much more!Henry VIII of England pursued Anne Boleyn for seven years while he was battling for an annulment from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Catherine had failed to provide Henry with a male heir to the throne, so the king looked to Catherine’s maid of honor, Anne Boleyn, to secure his Tudor lineage. When Anne also failed to give birth to a son, her fate was sealed. She was charged with multiple counts of adultery during a trial everyone agreed was a sham. Found guilty, Anne Boleyn was beheaded immediately afterward and placed in an unmarked grave. Her death served to reveal the true horror dispensed to wives who displeased their royal husbands. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matthew J. Chandler-Smith.

When the Duke Returns , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 665min
The Duchess of Cosway yearns for a man she has never met...her husband. Married by proxy as a child, Lady Isidore has spent years fending off lecherous men in every European court while waiting to meet her husband. She's determined to accept him, no matter how unattractive the duke turns out to be. When she finally lures Simeon Jermyn back to London, his dark handsomeness puts Isidore's worst fears to rest - until disaster strikes. The duke demands an annulment. Forsaking his adventuresome past, Simeon has returned to London ready to embrace the life of a proper duke, only to find that his supposed wife is too ravishing, too headstrong, and too sensual to be the docile duchess he has in mind. But Isidore will not give up her claim to the title - or him - without a fight. She will do whatever it takes to capture Simeon's heart, even if it means sacrificing her virtue. After all, a consummated marriage cannot be annulled. Yet in forcing Simeon into a delicious surrender, will Isidore risk not only her dignity - but her heart? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Effie: A Victorian Scandal - From Ruskin's Wife to Millais's Muse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min
Victorian scandals don't come much more intimate and revealing than a wife seeking an annulment from her famous husband because their marriage has not been consummated. When Effie Ruskin sought escape from her desperately unhappy life with art critic John Ruskin, she shattered the Victorian illusion of the perfect marriage. That she could then dare to hope for respectability and even happiness as the wife of artist John Everett Millais fuelled a scandal that was to reverberate around Victorian society for years to come. Ruskin, Millais, and Effie were exposed to the kind of gossip today's wannabe celebrities can only dream of. Effie was regarded as mentally ill, immoral, and certainly tainted - Queen Victoria initially refused to receive her - while Ruskin was seen either as noble and virtuous or deranged and impotent. Ruskin was repelled by Effie's body; Millais used her as a model in some of his greatest paintings. Millais went on to become one of Britain's most popular painters, but the stigma of his wife's past would never be forgotten. From the heart of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood comes a story as fascinating today as it was shocking in the 1850s. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosalyn Landor.
