Bloody Brilliant Tudors

Were the Woodvilles witches? Was ‘Bloody Mary’ a shop-a-holic? Or why does the ghost of Mary Queen of Scots haunt myriad locations across the realm? A gossipy history which delights in lesser-known stories, scandalous back-stairs intrigue, and the surprising exploits of the great and not-so-good personages of the Tudor era, from Henry VII to Elizabeth I. An entertaining history which delves behind Tudor mythology to explore the people and places where history really happened. Meet the Fools of court, ‘wild child’ Lady Margaret Douglas, and what being Groom of the Stool brought in terms of duties and prestige. Read cover to cover or dip in and out – a page-turning collection of tales from the Tudor court to surprise, baffle and intrigue all at once.
