Tudors

<p>David Loades provides a masterful overview of this formative period of British history. Exploring the reign of each monarch within the framework of the dynasty he unpacks the key questions surrounding the monarchy; the relationship between church and the state development of government war and foreign policy the question of Ireland and the issue of succession in Tudor politics. <br>Loades considers the recent scholarship on the dynasty as a whole paying particular attention to Henry VIII Elizabeth I and Mary Tudor. He also considers how recent revisionist history asks new questions of their political and personal lives. This places our understanding of the dynasty as a whole in a new light.</p>
