Description
A BBC History Magazine Book of the Year
';One of the most important books to be written about the Tudors in a generation.' Tracy Borman
In this groundbreaking history, Sarah Gristwood reveals the way courtly love made and marred the Tudor dynasty. From Henry VIII declaring himself as the ';loyal and most assured servant' of Anne Boleyn to the poems lavished on Elizabeth I by her suitors, the Tudors re-enacted the roles of devoted lovers and capricious mistresses first laid out in the romances of medieval literature, but now with life-and-death consequences for the protagonists. TheTudors in Love dissects the codes of love, desire and power, unveiling obsessions that have shaped the history of this nation.
';A riveting, pacy page-turner the Tudors as you've never seen them before.' Alison Weir
