When Henry Tudor was crowned Henry VII, following his defeat of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, a dynasty was established that would include the reigns of two of the best-known English monarchs: Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
The Tudors is a illustrated volume of short biographies: from the great consolidator of royal power, Henry VIII, to 'altogether the handsomest potentate', the dazzling Henry VIII and his legendary reign of executions and Reformation; from the sickly young Edward VI to the glorious Elizabeth, who lent her name to an age. The lives of the kings and queens at the heart of the book are set against the prevailing issues of the day: intense religious controversy, the threat from the forces of Counter Reformation in Europe and the defeat of the Spanish Armada. With an introduction by Antonia Fraser and illustrations, this is a vivid and accessible short history of the Tudors.
