Description

The Tudor Empire by David Wildman provides an in-depth exploration of how the Tudors maintained control over their vast territories and domains. From the Old War to the early colonies in the New World, this book examines the Tudors' relentless pursuit of expansion, driven by a deep-seated paranoia about their royal status. Through a detailed analysis of contemporary sources and engaging with wider historical debate, Wildman offers an accessible introduction to this pivotal era in British history. The book delves into the reigns of each monarch, from Henry VII's consolidation of authority to Elizabeth I's navigation of the New World, shedding light on the bloody costs of their territorial ambitions. By exploring the Tudors' empire-building efforts, Wildman provides a nuanced understanding of one of Britain's most fascinating royal dynasties.
