The Commandery is excited to welcome Alison Weir to discuss her new book The Cardinal: The Secret Life of Thomas Wolsey.

The Commandery is excited to welcome Alison Weir, the biggest-selling female historian in the UK, to discuss her new book The Cardinal: The Secret Life of Thomas Wolsey.

Alison Weir's new novel tells the story of Wolsey the man, his incredible rise to power and his tragic fall. She delves beyond the splendour and political machinations of the Tudor court to reveal the secrets of Wolsey's private life and the mistress he loved devotedly, and the tragedy that overtook them. It is a tale of two women, one who loved him and one who hated him - and also a tale of two men, king and commoner, the special, deep-rooted bonds that brought them together, and the forces that drove them apart.

This event is in partnership with Waterstones Worcester who will be there selling copies of Alison’s book.

Doors open at 6pm for a 6.30pm start.
