Beheadings, burnings, and bloodshed – the Tudor era pulls no punches, and neither does this comprehensive reference title from the best-selling DK Eyewitness series, which goes in expecting no holds barred. Trade and exploration lifted Tudor England even as treachery and rebellion threatened to tear it apart, and this book lets readers experience both the historic highs and lows firsthand. Hold court with Henry VIII and his long-suffering wives, mingle with high society over feasts and fashion, then walk among ordinary market traders and street entertainers to weigh up whether Tudor life would have suited you. Whether it’s a project pick-me-up for school studies or simply a fantastic read about Britain’s colourful past, this updated edition delivers, with new infographics, statistics, facts, and timelines making it more informative and interactive than ever. A giant fold-out wall chart of Tudor times completes the package, ready for any bedroom or classroom wall.
