By A Customer

This review is from: Chronicles of the Tudor Kings (Hardcover)

This is the final book in a series profiling the Plantagenet and Tudor Kings of England. David Loades, the editor, is a professor of History at the University College of North Wales and a leading authority on the Tudor Kings. Loades assembled a team of leading authorities to write 80 short essays on the Tudor Kings and the people, politics, manners, mores and customs of Tudor England. Contemporary chroniclers describe the key events in each monarch's reign in vivid detail.

This book is beautifully illustrated with 150 color and black and white illustrations and is accompanied by a detailed genealogical table covering the Tudor succession. The book also features four maps, a guide to the peers, a glossary and a bibliography of late 20th century books on the period.

I highly recommend this book and the others in the series to anyone interested in medieval history. The other books in the series (all edited by Elizabeth Hallam are: The Plantagenet Chronciles; Chronicles of the Age of Chivalry (also published under the title Four Gothic Kings) and The Wars of the Roses. Chronciles of the Crusades follows the same same superb format.
