Book Synopsis The Oxford Illustrated History of Tudor & Stuart Britain by : John Stephen Morrill
Download or read book The Oxford Illustrated History of Tudor & Stuart Britain written by John Stephen Morrill and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two centuries of dramatic change are covered by this exciting and richly illustrated work. Eighteen leading scholars explore the political, social, religious, and cultural history of the period when monarchs based in south-east England imperfectly attempted to extend their authority over thewhole of the British Isles. These centuries witnessed the Reformation, the civil wars, and two revolutions, in which two monarchs, two wives of a king, and two archbishops of Canterbury were tried and executed, and hundreds of men and women tortured and burned in the name of religion. Yet in the same period, an explosion ofliteracy and the printed word, transformations in landscapes and townscapes, new forms of wealth, new structures of power, and new forms of political participation freed minds and broadened horizons. These centuries marked the beginning of Britain's imperial power and its emergence as perhaps themost liberal and mature of European states. The integrated illustrations and maps form an essential part of the book, complementing all aspects of the text. It also contains a Chronology, Glossary, Family Trees of the monarchy, Further Reading, and an extensive Index.
Book Synopsis Tudors: The History of England from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I by : Peter Ackroyd
Download or read book Tudors: The History of England from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I written by Peter Ackroyd and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Ackroyd, one of Britain's most acclaimed writers, brings the age of the Tudors to vivid life in this monumental book in his The History of England series, charting the course of English history from Henry VIII's cataclysmic break with Rome to the epic rule of Elizabeth I. Rich in detail and atmosphere, Peter Ackroyd's Tudors is the story of Henry VIII's relentless pursuit of both the perfect wife and the perfect heir; of how the brief reign of the teenage king, Edward VI, gave way to the violent reimposition of Catholicism and the stench of bonfires under "Bloody Mary." It tells, too, of the long reign of Elizabeth I, which, though marked by civil strife, plots against the queen and even an invasion force, finally brought stability. Above all, however, it is the story of the English Reformation and the making of the Anglican Church. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, England was still largely feudal and looked to Rome for direction; at its end, it was a country where good governance was the duty of the state, not the church, and where men and women began to look to themselves for answers rather than to those who ruled them.
Book Synopsis The Hidden Lives of Tudor Women: A Social History by : Elizabeth Norton
Download or read book The Hidden Lives of Tudor Women: A Social History written by Elizabeth Norton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turbulent Tudor Age never fails to capture the imagination. But what was it truly like to be a woman during this era? The Tudor period conjures up images of queens and noblewomen in elaborate court dress; of palace intrigue and dramatic politics. But if you were a woman, it was also a time when death during childbirth was rife; when marriage was usually a legal contract, not a matter for love, and the education you could hope to receive was minimal at best. Yet the Tudor century was also dominated by powerful and dynamic women in a way that no era had been before. Historian Elizabeth Norton explores the life cycle of the Tudor woman, from childhood to old age, through the diverging examples of women such as Elizabeth Tudor, Henry VIII’s sister; Cecily Burbage, Elizabeth's wet nurse; Mary Howard, widowed but influential at court; Elizabeth Boleyn, mother of a controversial queen; and Elizabeth Barton, a peasant girl who would be lauded as a prophetess. Their stories are interwoven with studies of topics ranging from Tudor toys to contraception to witchcraft, painting a portrait of the lives of queens and serving maids, nuns and harlots, widows and chaperones. Norton brings this vibrant period to colorful life in an evocative and insightful social history.

Download or read book England 1553 written by Chris Leuchars and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1553, roughly the mid-point of the Tudor Century, was no ordinary year. Three monarchs, two religions, two rebellions, the execution of a chief minister, a suspected poisoning, death sentences on a royal couple, and the intervention of two of the most powerful rulers in Europe were just part of the drama. And as a backdrop, and perhaps even a cause of all this mayhem, the accession of England's first queen. At stake was not just the survival of the Tudor dynasty, but the souls of all English men and women, and the continuing existence of England as an independent nation. Yet, when the dust had settled, the Tudor ship of state sailed serenely on, arguably even stronger than before. This book charts the course of that remarkable year, and re-opens the story of England's first female rulers: Jane Grey and Mary Tudor. At the start of the year, England was firmly under the control of the duke of Northumberland and the Privy Council while King Edward VI was still a minor. The duke continued his efforts to restore the country's financial stability, at the same time as bringing in a Protestant Reformation. But Edward's illness, and subsequent death, meant that the Catholic Mary Tudor was next in line to the throne, with the likelihood of her reversing the religious changes and punishing those who had brought them in. Before he died, Edward and Northumberland hatched a plot to disinherit her and install a Protestant, Lady Jane Grey, in her place. Mary fought back and managed to win the throne. She began the process of restoring the Catholic religion, and chose Philip of Spain to be her husband and, at least in name, king. This provoked a revolt by Thomas Wyatt that came close to toppling her, but for the second time in just six months the majority of the country stood behind her and she survived. The causes of the turmoil are examined in detail, including the issue of Mary's gender, but the conclusion is that the failure of both revolts was a sign of the strength of the Tudor dynasty, and of how much had been achieved over the previous sixty years.

Download or read book Tudor Place written by Leslie L. Buhler and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Released to mark the bicentennial of Tudor Place, this new title is the first comprehensive record of this important National Historic Landmark in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Two grand houses were under construction in the young Federal City in 1816: one the President's House, reconstructed after it was burned by the British in 1814, and the other Tudor Place, an elegant mansion rising on the heights above Georgetown. The connection between these two houses is more than temporal, as they were connected through lineage and politics for generations. The builders of Tudor Place were Thomas and Martha Parke Custis Peter, Martha Washington's granddaughter. In the 1790s George Washington had been a frequent guest at the Peters' town house when he was in the nascent Federal City, attending to its planning and selecting sites for the U.S. Capitol and the President's House. In 1817, when President James Monroe moved back into the reconstructed President's House following the fire of 1814, the Peters were completing their own grand home, Tudor Place, designed in concert with their friend, Dr. William Thornton, architect for the first U.S. Capitol Building. The White House and Tudor Place each represent the spirit and aspirations of the early Republic. Little more than two miles apart, each survives as a national architectural landmark. While the White House is perhaps the most well known building in the world, Tudor Place remained a family home until 1983 and very private, although the Peters welcomed some of the nation's foremost leaders as their guests and were themselves guests at the White House.
