The House of Dudley Zusammenfassung

The House of Dudley: A New History of Tudor England. A TIMES Book of the Year 2022 Dr Joanne Paul

Told for the very first time, this is the shocking and extraordinary story of the most-conniving and manipulative Tudor family you've never heard of . . .

A BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022 ACCORDING TO:
THE TIMES
SUNDAY TIMES
DAILY TELEGRAPH
HISTORY TODAY

'A tour-de-force of Tudor history, as seen through the eyes of a family with a front-row view of almost every major political event in sixteenth-century England. Remarkable' DAN JONES, bestselling author of POWER AND THRONES

'Exciting and immersive. An immensely entertaining history, capturing in full Tudor brilliance the cut-throat glamour of the English throne and the most audacious family to play its game' SUNDAY TIMES

'This is riveting stuff: death, desire, power and scandal. Game of Thrones looks tame compared with the real-life machinations of the Dudleys' SPECTATOR

'A twist on the Tudors . . . Enormously entertaining - a sheer joy to read' THE TIMES, BEST HISTORY BOOKS OF 2022
________

Each Tudor monarch made their name with a Dudley by their side - or by crushing one beneath their feet . . .

The Dudleys thrived at the court of Henry VII, but were sacrificed to the popularity of Henry VIII. Rising to prominence in the reign of Edward VI, the Dudleys lost it all by advancing Jane Grey to the throne over Mary I.

That was until the reign of Elizabeth I, when the family were once again at the centre of power, and would do anything to remain there . . .

With three generations of felled favourites, what was it that caused this family to keep rising so high and falling so low?

Here, for the first time, is the story of England's Borgias, a noble house competing in the murderous game of musical chairs around the English throne. Witness cunning, adultery and sheer audacity from history's most brilliant, bold and skulduggerous family.

Welcome to the House of Dudley.
