Tudors Versus Stewarts: The Fatal Inheritance of Mary, Queen of Scots
Mary Queen of Scots fervently believed she had a right to the English throne - a belief that cost her her head. This is a vivid account of why she came to this belief from an acclaimed Tudor historian. The struggle between the fecund Stewarts & the barren Tudors is generally seen only in terms of the relationship between Elizabeth I & her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots; until now.
Winter King
Winter King by Thomas Penn - In his remarkable debut, Penn vividly recreates the dark and turbulent reign of Henry VII. He traces the transformation of a young, vulnerable boy, Prince Henry, into the aggressive teenager who would become Henry VIII, and of Catherine of Aragon, his future queen. And at the book's heart is the tragic, magnetic figure of Henry VII - controlling, paranoid, avaricious, with a Machiavellian charm and will to power.
