Description: The House of Tudor ruled England and its realms from 1485 until 1603, during which time five monarchs sat on the throne: Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. This expert guide charts the lives of Tudor lay folk (including Shakespeare!) as well as all the infamous Tudor kings and queens.
Synopsis: This entertaining guide covers the period from 1485 to 1603, exploring the life and times of everyday people (from famine and the flu epidemic, to education, witchcraft and William Shakespeare) as well as the intrigues and scandals at court. Strap yourself in and get ready for a rollercoaster ride through the romantic and political liaisons of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I - and that's not all!
