Description
The story of the Rookwoods is one of loyalty and loss. In 16th-century England, their family's long history of service to the Crown was undone by their refusal to abandon Catholicism. As the English Reformation took hold under King Henry VIII, the Rookwoods found themselves at odds with the new Church of England. Their property was confiscated, and they were imprisoned for their faith. The consequences of recusancy were severe, and the Rookwoods' fortunes fell dramatically. This book explores the intimate ties between the Rookwoods and other families who suffered under Queen Elizabeth I's rule, revealing a complex web of loyalty, persecution, and loss that shaped the course of English history.
