Chelsea Manor, Michigan, U.S.A.: Stein & Day Pub, 1983. The Tudors ruled England for little more than a century, but very few Royal Dynasties have made such an impact on history. In this personal rather than political history of the Tudors, the author tells the story of this astonishing family. The lives of the five Tudor monarchs are interwoven with the lesser known branches of the tree in a rich family tapestry. The astute statesmanship of the first Henry Tudor, the enterprising maritcal career of the second and the tragedy of the son he laboured so murderously to get, the unhappy reignt of Mary, and finally the flowering of Elizabeth in which the family reached its apothesis -- all find their place in this chronicle of four turbulent, passionate, tragic and prodigious generations. --.
