Authority and accessibility combine to bring the history and the drama of Tudor England to life. Almost 900 engaging entries cover the life and times of Henry VIII, Mary I, Elizabeth I, William Shakespeare, and much, much more.
A fascinating period of great change and larger-than-life men and women, the Tudor years are filled with intriguing stories. In 1535, for instance, a member of Parliament accused Henry VIII of having sexual relationships with both Anne Boleyn's sister and her mother. Startled, the king muttered "never with the mother," thereby inadvertently confirming a relationship with Anne's sister, Mary.
