  The Tudor period is regarded by many as England's golden age, and still casts a spell over the public imagination. Whether it's the glittering rule of Elizabeth, the ruthless power of her father Henry VIII, or the bloody and radical reign of Mary, the Tudors remain the most fascinating English dynasty. Richard Rex looks at how the public and private lives of the Tudors were inextricably linked, and how each Tudor monarch exuded charisma and danger in equal measure.

  An intimate history of England's most infamous royal family. The Tudor Age began in August 1485 when Henry Tudor landed with 2000 soldiers at Milford Haven intent on snatching the English throne from Richard III. This marked the beginning of a 150 years of the Tudors, one of the most colourful royal families in Britain's history from the psychotic Henry VIII to the bankrupt virgin queen, Elizabeth I. Richard Rex concentrates on the personalities of this great royal dynasty, their relations with one another and the differing efforts each made in maintaining the family's grip on the English throne.
