Meeting of the Minds: Henry VIII Part 1

In preparation for this assignment I signed three books out of the James V. Brown Library about a month ago, one of which I've read front to back and another of which I skimmed through. Having previously read Antonia Fraser's book The Wives of Henry VIII for our summer reading project, reading just about Henry VIII was quite a different experience than I thought it would be. The Henry portrayed in Fraser's book had little to do with state, but in Monarch and Conspirators: the Wives and Woes of Henry VIII, more of his attempts at war and in peace were talked about. Although I'm sure it came up, I don't remember reading about the Field of the Cloth of Gold before, but in the books not about Henry VIII's wives, it comes up quite often in in great detail.
One thing I thought would be different between the books was the way Henry VIII's personality and demeanor was portrayed. Fraser's book made him seem like a selfish, stubborn, sometimes passionate man who was prone to temper tantrums. This is how he's portrayed in most other books about him as well. I thought perhaps books about him specifically would be more kind.
I've also checked out of the school library a copy of Bolt's play A Man for All Seasons. I've seen the movie before, so I can recall somethings from that, but otherwise so far I haven't read far enough for many things to sound familiar from reading other reference books.
