Book Description

The six monarchs of the Tudor dynasty are phenomenally well known. Henry VII succeeded in ending the Wars of the Roses, Henry VIII formed the Church of England and famously married six times: Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Katherine Parr. His three children, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I, would all ascend to the throne, as would his great-niece Lady Jane Grey. Between them they ruled for an eventful 118 years. This easy-to-follow introduction to the Tudors follows the major events and personalities of the age.

  1. Illustrated Introduction? So perfect! At any occasion. The Tudors’ story, remarcably described. This makes all the thoughts we idealize, to come true, in a way that we can actually see them, from the eyes of the paintors, and also the symbolism. Amazing.—–> come to Portugal , handsome book! ????

    The Tudors are my favorite dynasty! This family played a pivotal role in changing the direction of the English life and monarchy. So much so that it is still a part of English life and tradition. ( I tried to subscribe to the newsletter, but it said it didn’t have a format style and it showed the tree program. It may be due to my computer security settings. Not sure. I do love this site though and I follow it on Facebook.)

    I understand thinking and the church were different from today. I find it so sad that Henry had to kill all those other’s when he wanted to get rid of Anne.
    Thank you again,
    Liz
