Description
The Story of the Tudor Dynasty: How Love Shaped Politics and International Diplomacy in Medieval England.
Why did Henry VIII marry six times? Why did Anne Boleyn have to die? Is it true that Elizabeth I's courtiers hailed her as a goddess who descended to earth?
Dramas of courtesan love have delighted readers and dreamers for centuries. Too often, however, they are dismissed as something that existed only in fairy tales and songs-the old legends of King Arthur and chivalry. It's actually much more interesting than that. Sarah Gristwood in her book "Tudor Lovers. How Love Was Loved and Hated in Medieval England" reveals how courtly love created and destroyed the Tudor dynasty, from Henry VIII declaring himself Anne Boleyn's "faithful servant" to the poetry lavished around Elizabeth I by her admirers. The Tudors reproduced the roles of devoted lovers and capricious mistresses first outlined in the romances of medieval literature.
Number of pages: 416.
