Specificatii
The Tudors are England's most notorious royal family. But, as
Leanda de Lisle's gripping new history reveals, they are a family
still more extraordinary than the one we thought we knew. The Tudor
canon typically starts with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, before
speeding on to Henry VIII and the Reformation. But this leaves out
the family's obscure Welsh origins, the ordinary man known as Owen
Tudor who would fall (literally) into a Queen's lap--and later her
bed. It passes by the courage of Margaret Beaufort, the pregnant
thirteen-year-old girl who would help found the Tudor dynasty, and
the childhood and painful exile of her son, the future Henry VII.
It ignores the fact that the Tudors were shaped by their
past--those parts they wished to remember and those they wished to
forget. By creating a full family portrait set against the
background of this past, de Lisle enables us to see the Tudor
dynasty in its own terms, and presents new perspectives and
revelations on key figures and events. De Lisle discovers a family
dominated by remarkable women doing everything possible to secure
its future; shows why the princes in the Tower had to vanish; and
reexamines the bloodiness of Mary's reign, Elizabeth's fraught
relationships with her cousins, and the true significance of
previously overlooked figures. Throughout the Tudor story, Leanda
de Lisle emphasizes the supreme importance of achieving peace and
stability in a violent and uncertain world, and of protecting and
securing the bloodline. Tudor is bristling with religious and
political intrigue but at heart is a thrilling story of one
family's determined and flamboyant ambition.
