The Tudors

Meer over het boek

An intimate history of England's most infamous royal family. The Tudor Age began in August 1485 when Henry Tudor landed with 2000 soldiers at Milford Haven intent on snatching the English throne from Richard III. This marked the beginning of a 150 years of the Tudors, one of the most colourful royal families in Britain's history from the psychotic Henry VIII to the bankrupt virgin queen, Elizabeth I. Richard Rex concentrates on the personalities of this great royal dynasty, their relations with one another and the differing efforts each made in maintaining the family's grip on the English throne.
