If you want to discover the captivating history of the Tudors, then keep reading...

Four captivating manuscripts in one book:
  • The Tudors: A Captivating Guide to the History of England from Henry VII to Elizabeth I
  • The Wars of the Roses: A Captivating Guide to the English Civil Wars That Brought down the Plantagenet Dynasty and Put the Tudors on the Throne
  • The Six Wives of Henry VIII: A Captivating Guide to Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Katherine Parr
  • Elizabeth I: A Captivating Guide to the Queen of England Who Was the Last of the Five Monarchs of the House of Tudor
Five Tudor monarchs sat on the throne of England and Ireland from 1485 to 1603. The family earned their royal rights through strategic planning and battlefield prowess, and kept them because of intellect, strength and sheer determination. The Tudors, one of England’s most powerful and famous royal dynasties, knitted together a fragmented and small island nation that became one of the world’s financial, colonial and technological superpowers.

There is so much more to the story of these kings and queens than beheadings, political marriages and the reformation of the church – but those events remain some of the family’s most enthralling moments.

New purchase and truly enjoying. I reached page 42, Mary Tudor Queen of France. It states she was born March 18, 1596. I believe this is incorrect. Mary died before her Brother Henry. Henry passed away in 1547. Maybe author meant1496?
I have read about every book about the Tudors, fiction and non-fiction I could get my hands on. I am really enjoying several embellishments in this book I haven’t read before. Also, easy to understand. Thank you

Kindle Unlimited but one of my owned ones will have to check, know read it just for some reason didn't do review {sometimes goodreads lags behind amazon on getting books listed too so possible forgot to go back}. Still hoping for RichardIII, but the probable real story about how Henry actually did what history books now claim Richard did, though older books of the time say otherwise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Would be five star if not for a few errors, overall LOVE these books.
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2019
Verified Purchase
I'm not a grammar nazi or big fact checker or anything, but there were a few inconsistencies that I noticed with dates. I don't remember the specifics, but they were usually on the same page or within a page or two. One would say in 1547 this happened and then while discussing those events it would say in 1537 a few paragraphs later. Most of the "scene" would have been set around 1537 so that would likely be the correct one with the '47 being the typo. I noticed that throughout the series probably 3 or 4 times. I usually don't notice that kind of thing, so I think there may be more and these are just the ones that jarred me enough to re-read it.

Also, it says in the second book that Margaret Beaufort was a "dowager queen" and that while conspiring with Elizabeth Woodville to get Henry VII on the throne that they were a couple of "dowager queens". I'm not an expert, but Beaufort was certainly not a dowager queen. She had several husbands, but I believe the highest ranking one was a duke so she would have been a dowager duchess. Perhaps after her son was king she could have that title somewhere, but not when she was scheming with Elizabeth. Please correct me if I'm wrong and I'll be glad to edit the review. I googled after reading it and couldn't find anything saying that she was one, though.

All that said, I absolutely LOVE these books. They are very informative, though after the few inconsistencies I may question it a small amount. As I'm reading for fun I don't see it as a huge deal. They are very interesting and keep you reading. I've been talking to everyone about it so most of my friends and family are a little annoyed with me, but I'm really enjoying them!

3.0 out of 5 stars Glaring mistake
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2023
Good overview of the Tudors, but one huge error. Eustace Chapuys was the ambassador to England from Charles V, who was the Holy Roman Emperor, not Charles V who was King of France over 100 years earlier. The book mentions several times that Chapuys was the ambassador from France, which is wrong and shows poor research.

I had a four part book, the Wars of the Roses, the Tudors, the six wives of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I and all four were excellent reading. Very enjoyable, with enough detail to be educational but not so much as to be considered a 'tome'. I am a Tudor 'nut' anyway and therefore know quite a bit but this proved that there are still loads of things to learn. Well worth the read

I really enjoyed reading this and got through it very quickly, I couldn’t put it down and I learnt a lot. However, there were quite a few grammatical and factual errors - the factual errors meant that I felt sceptical about everything that I read so searched most things to check the viability of them
