Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), the people who write the blurbs rarely have anything to do with the actual content of the book, assuming they've even bothered to look inside.
The actual text at location 427 of the Kindle version says (paraphrased, since it would be more bother than it's worth to copy-paste) that Henry VIII lived until 1547, and was at one time highly regarded by the Church and anti-Lutheran, up until he asked the pope for an annulment from Katherine of Aragon, and the rest is history.
