Book excerpt: In 16th-century England, two teenage best friends find themselves on an exciting journey from the country to the Queen's court in the hope of being named ladies-in-waiting. But Sybille and Rose soon discover they aren't the only girls who have their sights set on attending Her Majesty. The girls must compete against worldly and cunning opponents, among them mean-girl Avis and her entourage of back-stabbing co-horts, tipping the balance in their already-tenuous friendship. Soon, the grand hall is more like the hallway of a prestigious finishing school, with girls fighting for the attention of a dashing, young earl, amid parties fueled by drinking and indiscriminate dalliances. As the tension between Sybille and Avis heats up, the focus on Rose wanes, allowing her to turn her attention to more important matters &– like getting close enough to the Queen to learn her secrets. But being close to the Queen is not without its challenges. And when rumors of Rose's influence make their way around the castle, no one, not even the Queen, will be safe.

Download or read book The Flowering of the Tudor Rose written by David Field and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romance, drama, and kingship... The reign of Henry VII is seen by many historians as a milestone in English history, at one and the same time the finishing post of the self-destructive Wars of the Roses and the starting line of the Tudor dynasty. But Henry's story is every bit as dramatic as those of the kings who came before and after him... After a childhood spent as a fatherless earl under house arrest in a Welsh fortress, he was spirited away to Brittany and France by adventurer and uncle Jasper Tudor, his father's brother. During his exile he was taught to be a king, and when he was ready he returned to England with a hastily assembled army to claim both a crown and a high born wife. It was the final combination of the red and white roses in a marriage of genuine love. This is Henry's story, one of romance and drama, as he transformed from a frightened and somewhat weakly boy into a powerful monarch who would found a dynasty. This is a coming of age novel of the original Tudor. David Field was born and educated in Nottingham, and it was at Nottingham High School that he first acquired his love of the history, and language, of England, which he has over the years combined in a series of historical novels. This latest release, The Flowering of the Tudor Rose, is a companion volume to The Scarlet Peacock, also publish by Endeavour Press. David currently resides with his wife in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia.

Download or read book The Tudor Rose written by Jesse Berridge and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although 'The Tudor Rose' appears to be a deliciously old-fashioned historical romance, set in Tudor England, it is far more than that, for its author weaves his story around known historical characters, and it is the result of extensive local research. When the Parson of Little Baddow saves a child from the floodwaters of the River Chelmer, he initiates a story that blends life in a small English village with the political and religious disputes of the 16th century and the Royal House of Tudor. It is a tale of murder, witchcraft and political intrigue, and of a young man, Edward Mantell, who is led to believe, with tragic consequences, that he may be the legitimate son of King Henry VIII. This Centenary Edition is published to celebrate the arrival of its author, Jesse Berridge, as Rector of Little Baddow, an Essex village, in 1915. Its style reflects his interests - in local history, in religion, in mystical spirituality and in telling a good yarn.
Book Synopsis The Wars of the Roses by : Dan Jones
Download or read book The Wars of the Roses written by Dan Jones and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the New York Times bestseller The Plantagenets and The Templars chronicles the next chapter in British history—the historical backdrop for Game of Thrones The inspiration for the Channel 5 series Britain's Bloody Crown The crown of England changed hands five times over the course of the fifteenth century, as two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty fought to the death for the right to rule. In this riveting follow-up to The Plantagenets, celebrated historian Dan Jones describes how the longest-reigning British royal family tore itself apart until it was finally replaced by the Tudors. Some of the greatest heroes and villains of history were thrown together in these turbulent times, from Joan of Arc to Henry V, whose victory at Agincourt marked the high point of the medieval monarchy, and Richard III, who murdered his own nephews in a desperate bid to secure his stolen crown. This was a period when headstrong queens and consorts seized power and bent men to their will. With vivid descriptions of the battles of Towton and Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was slain, this dramatic narrative history revels in bedlam and intrigue. It also offers a long-overdue corrective to Tudor propaganda, dismantling their self-serving account of what they called the Wars of the Roses.
Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of Shakespeare's Queens by : Kavita Mudan Finn
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Shakespeare's Queens written by Kavita Mudan Finn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Shakespeare’s thirty-seven plays, fifteen include queens. This collection gives these characters their due as powerful early modern women and agents of change, bringing together new perspectives from scholars of literature, history, theater, and the fine arts. Essays span Shakespeare’s career and cover a range of famous and lesser-known queens, from the furious Margaret of Anjou in the Henry VI plays to the quietly powerful Hermione in The Winter’s Tale; from vengeful Tamora in Titus Andronicus to Lady Macbeth. Early chapters situate readers in the critical concerns underpinning any discussion of Shakespeare and queenship: the ambiguous figure of Elizabeth I, and the knotty issue of gender presentation. The focus then moves to analysis of issues such as motherhood, intertextuality, and contemporary political contexts; close readings of individual plays; and investigations of rhetoric and theatricality. Featuring twenty-five chapters with a rich variety of themes and methodologies, this handbook is an invaluable reference for students and scholars, and a unique addition to the fields of Shakespeare and queenship studies.
