Tudor Roses

From Margaret Beaufort to Elizabeth I

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Amy Licence provides an alternative history of the Tudors, focusing on the women who contributed to the dynasty, whether by ruling as queens, by bearing children or through their decision-making and influence. Covering the period from 1437 to 1603, she traces how religious, social and cultural developments changed the experience of royal women, whose increasing independence and gradual empowerment culminated in Elizabeth I’s 45-year reign.
