Description
Mary Tudor was the first female English sovereign to rule in her own right. Her life was marked by turmoil and tragedy, from her childhood as a pawn in the complex web of Tudor politics to her eventual rise as Queen of England. This biography explores the twists and turns of Mary's story, revealing a complex woman driven by deep-set beliefs and principles. Despite her popularity among the people, Mary faced numerous challenges during her reign, including personal crises and the loss of key territories such as Calais. Her marriage to Philip of Spain was also doomed from the start, leaving her with little joy or fulfillment. David Loades' account offers a probing yet sympathetic look at Mary's life, shedding light on the emotional fragility that lay beneath her tough exterior. The book includes 59 illustrations, including 14 in colour, which add depth and visual interest to the narrative.
