Owen Emmerson

A woman in a man's world. Though strong-willed, intelligent and passionate, Queen Elizabeth I is keenly aware that her life is in constant peril. With her died the Tudor dynasty, but the changes she made to politics and parliament show the beginnings of the conception of the England that we know and love today.

From the real life stories that inspired Game of Thrones, delve into a world of dynasties, blood feuds and civil war, where brother battles brother, uncle kills nephew, and cousin executes cousin in the race to decide who wears the bloodstained crown of England. The Tudor dynasty spans little over a century, but it is filled with big personalities and even bigger battles for power and influence. Trace the Tudor bloodline from Henry VII to Elizabeth I in a family drama like no other.

Every year on a night in May, the centuries-old tale goes, the spectre of Anne Boleyn rided up to Blickling Hall in a coach driven by a headless horseman, dressed in pure white, drenched in blood from her decapitated head in her lap.

Divorced, beheaded and died; divorced, beheaded, survived. Henry VIII married no less than six times during his reign as King of England. Get to know the six women that Henry married, and the influence these Queens had on the King and the country which they served.
