The Tudor Family is the most intriguing royal dynasty in British
history. Their era took us out of the Middle Ages through the
Renaissance, founded the British Empire and made Britain a world power
for the first time. The flowering of literature and music was
unprecedented in British history. And what a family! From Henry VII who
usurped Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth, through his famous son
whose multiple marriages led to the break with the Roman Church, to the
brilliant reign of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn's daughter, Elizabeth I,
we see over a century of people and events that sometimes seem more
fiction than reality. Did Henry VIII compose Greensleeves? What were
Thomas Cromwell's bizarre toilet habits? Did Anne Boleyn have six
fingers on one hand? For details of these, and many more entertaining
Tudor facts, just open this book.
