Tudor Queens of England
From convenient accessory to sovereign lady, this book assesses the critical, colourful and at times dramatic role of the Tudor Queens of England.
Power in Tudor England
England was the most centralised state in medieval Europe. The Tudors built on this situation to reduce still further the provincial power of the nobility, and to eliminate the remaining jurisdictional franchises. But sixteenth century England was not monolithic, nor homogeneous. There were still strong local identities, both political and culture, and the Tudors achieved success by working through the local elites, rather than against them.
Mary Tudor
Daughter of Henry VIII, half-sister to the future Elizabeth I, the turbulent life of the first woman to rule England and the cruel fate of those who opposed her iron will.
The Six Wives of Henry VIII
The marital ups and downs of England's most infamous king. The story of Henry VIII and his six wives has passed from history into legend - taught in the cradle as a cautionary tale and remembered in adulthood as an object lesson in the dangers of marrying into royalty. The true story behind the legend, however, remains obscure to most people, whose knowledge of the affair begins and ends with the aide memoire 'Divorced, executed, died, divorce, executed, survived'. David Loades masterly book recounts the whole sorry tale in detail from Henry's first marriage, to his brother's widow, to more or less contented old age in the care of the motherly Catherine Parr.
The Kings & Queens of England

Thomas Cromwell
The biography of the blacksmith’s son who rose to be Henry VIII’s right-hand man.
The Boleyns
A magnificent tale of family rivalry and intrigue set against Henry VIII's court.
