A Brief History of the Tudor Age Author: Jasper Ridley

ISBN: 9781841194714 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 344 Published: 1 February 2002 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 20.000 x 13.000 x 2.2 Description: From the arrival of Henry Tudor and his army, at Milford in 1485, to the death of the great Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, this was an astonishingly eventful and contradictory age.

All the strands of Tudor life are gathered in a rich tapestry - London and the country, costumes, furniture and food, travel, medicine, sports and pastimes, grand tournaments and the great flowering of English drama, juxtaposed with the stultifying narrowness of peasant life, terrible roads, a vast underclass, the harsh treatment of heretics and traitors, and the misery of the Plague.
