Tudor monarchs have consistently attracted more popular and scholarly
attention than any other royal dynasty in British history. The
peculiar origins of the Tudor family and the improbable saga of their
rise and fall and rise again in the centuries before the Battle of
Bosworth have, however, received far less attention.
?Based on original sources from Britain and France, The Making of the
Tudor Dynasty sets the record straight by providing the only
authoritative account of the ancestors of the Tudor family in North
Wales at the start of the thirteenth century; their royal English and
French connections in the fifteenth century; their unique role in the
Wars of the Roses; and Henry Tudor's victory at Bosworth Field in 1485.
