A time of treason, rebellion, exile and intrigue, the Tudor period lasted from 1485 to 1603. Despite the problems that beset the era, these years were some of the most prosperous England had ever seen, and dramatically altered the course of world history. With fascinating facts and stories, The Tudor Miscellany explains who the Tudors were and why they remain so popular. Starting with the family's inauspicious roots when a courtier named Owen Tudor fell into Queen Catherine of Valois' lap during a dance, this book takes you right up to Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, whose reign was vital in establishing stability and national identity.
