The Tudors: A Captivating Guide to the History of England from Henry VII to Elizabeth I - Hardcover

The history of Tudor England runs 1485 to 1603 across five monarchs, and this guide walks the dynasty end to end without lingering.

A family that won a throne on a battlefield and then held it for over a century through marriages, executions and one very consequential argument with Rome.

Good to know

It is deliberately compact. One reader opened the parcel and thought the book looked too thin to be worth it, then said the density changed their mind. Treat it as an orientation, not a reference.

What it covers

Welsh origins and a civil war over the crown at one end, Elizabeth and Mary Stuart at the other. In between sit the two matriarchs who made the dynasty possible, the wives, the break with Rome, and the queen who lasted nine days.

Explore the Captivating History of the Tudors

Five Tudor monarchs sat on the throne of England and Ireland from 1485 to 1603. The family earned their royal rights through strategic planning and battlefield prowess, and kept them because of intellect, strength and sheer determination. The Tudors, one of England's most powerful and famous royal dynasties, knitted together a fragmented and small island nation that became one of the world's financial, colonial and technological superpowers.

There is so much more to the story of these kings and queens than beheadings, political marriages and the reformation of the church - but those events remain some of the family's most enthralling moments.
