“This meticulously researched book looks at the incredible lives of 1000 Tudor individuals from all walks of life. Monarchs, military and religious leaders, Lord Chancellors, Knights of the Garter, philosophers, merchants, gardeners, musicians, rebels, witches, and many, many more feature in this fascinating, illustrated compendium. A must-have for every devotee of the Tudor period.”
In her talk Melissa will bring to life both the ordinary and the high born Tudor people, giving us a new insight into the period.
