Todo empezó como empiezan estas cosas, con una boda. Concretamente, la de Owen Tudor (allí se llamaban Tudur) con Catalina de Valois, viuda de Enrique V de Inglaterra, de la casa de Lancaster (no confundir con su semejanza con la de Juego de Tronos). Este Owen descendía de Ednyfed Fychan, poderoso senescal del reino de Gwynedd. De semejante matrimonio había nacido Edmundo, hermanastro de Enrique VI, que lo nombró conde de Richmond. Edmundo palmó con el paso de los años, pero antes le dio tiempo de engendrar a otro Enrique, que luchó en la Guerra de las dos Rosas. Por no liar más la madeja dejémoslo en que este Enrique Tudor acabó victorioso, fusionando las rosas de Lancaster y de York en una sola. ¿Sabéis cuál? Efectivamente, la Rosa Tudor.
Como ya había habido otros Enriques, tomó para rey el nombre de Enrique VII. Aún no ha llegado el mastuerzo que se casó seis veces.
Ese sería Enrique VIII, hijo del anterior. Que no le tocaba reinar, pero se aprovechó de la muerte de su hermano mayor, Arturo. Se aprovechó de su muerte y de su esposa, pues casó con Catalina de Aragón, hija de los reyes católicos, por aquello de no desmantelar el negocio que se habían montado con los españoles, reinos del universo por aquella época. Pero Catalina no le dio hijos, sólo le dio a María (la bloody Mary). Así que Enrique (el octavo), se empeñó en quitársela de encima. Discutió con el Papa porque este no le dejaba…. Y tan cabreado se puso que se inventó una religión a su medida, y al Papa que le fueran dando. Luego se casó otras cinco veces, pero no le gustó el negocio y la mitad de las pobres esposas acabaron sin cabeza. Mientras, el rey se puso muy gordo y seboso (de joven era atlético), y al final olía a pescado podrido. Total que la palmó, y, de las seis esposas que tuvo, solo la última (Catalina Parr) pudo contarlo.
Pero mira por donde, con Juana Seymour (la tercera esposa) tuvo por fin varón, aunque la pobre reina se murió en el parto. Dicho varón se llamó Eduardo VI, pero duró menos que un pastel a la puerta de un colegio. Luego llegó Juana Grey, bisnieta de Enrique VII, el que inició el linaje, pero duró en el trono la friolera de 9 días, y no llegó ni a ponerse la corona.
Y le llegó el turno a María I, la hija de Enrique VIII y Catalina de Aragón. Tan católica como sus católicos abuelos. Estaba tan enfadada que la tomó con la nueva iglesia fundada por su padre. No dejó títere con cabeza. De ahí lo de Bloody Mary, que aún se pide en los pubs ingleses. Por cierto, se casó con nuestro Felipe II, que era mucho más joven que ella, y que no estuvo por la labor de darle herederos varones. Lástima. Porque así nos hubiéramos ahorrado tener que estudiar inglés la mitad de la población. Felipe tenía que guerrear contra los Países Bajos, que andaban en rebeldía contra España. Total que tenía mucho trabajo y no pudo consumar el himeneo.
Luego vino Isabel I. La esplendorosa, que era hija de Enrique VIII y Ana Bolena. Volvió a asumir la iglesia de Inglaterra, aunque no hizo demasiado estropicio con los católicos protestones. Una cosa buena tuvo, le gustaba el teatro, así conocimos a Shakespeare. Esta reina sólo se casó con Inglaterra, no con varón. Encima tuvo una viruela que le dejó la cara muy desfigurada. Pero fue una buena reina. Y nos dio leña a los españoles y a nuestra Armada Invencible, a la que no habíamos enviado a luchar “contra los elementos”. Eso sí, se cargó a su hermanastra María de Estuardo, reina de Escocia, después de tenerla 20 años encerrada en un castillo. “Por contestona y lagarta”, se cree que dijo.
Como Isabel I solo se casó con Inglaterra, no tuvo descendencia. Ahí le llegó la venganza a la decapitada María Estuardo, pues el trono pasó a ocuparlo su hijo, a saber, Jacobo VI de Escocia y I de Inglaterra. Y ahí fue donde empezaría el temible Reino Unido, pues bajo su corona se agruparon Inglaterra, Escocia e Irlanda. Y hasta ahora, si el Brexit no lo impide, pues los escoceses están un poco hasta las narices de los mandones ingleses, como así pude percibirlo en mi último viaje a Escocia.
Luego vino Guy Fawkes y la conspiración de la pólvora. Pero eso ya es otra historia. Con Jacobo se acabaron los Tudor y llegaron los Estuardo, y este cuento se ha acabado.
En cuanto al volumen reseñado, estaría entre las 3 y las 4 estrellas. Interesante para repasar lo aquí dicho, pero, si ya conoces la historia, poco más vas a aprender.

An easy to read and very interesting book about the Tudor monarchs, from the first and how they came to be to the last and what happened afterwards.
September 14, 2018
OWN, had to 'verify' thru email before log in could log in tho NEVER log OUT of amazon, member since 2001, 24 times August/September SO FAR, 64 previous account where hotmail decided amazon 'password assistance' SPAM because kept coming thru, guess that 'one time verify' meant per day...nope had to verify it doing back to back reviews same day. Not as if I am not within 12 month time, won't be up until Decemer at earliest, probably won't get to review even BOUGHT books THEN.
kindle unlimited, have these together, not that they're a set just for my list, 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 then The Tudors: A Captivating Guide to the History of England from Henry VII to Elizabeth I, actually know some of this period, mostly due to Henry's Star Chamber and other political crap, and read book Daughter of Time which is more about mystery but details how Richard III wouldn't have/couldn't have killed the princes {and why} along with timing etc & fact Henry never mentioned them being gone/missing/dead, which he would have, unless he was the one that had them killed {capital crime but minors/children so wouldn't be able to charge that way}, and also read a short one on the Rose {Richard's mother} before there were white roses and red roses.

Explore the Captivating History of the Tudors Free History BONUS Inside!
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. This captivating history book covers topics such as: The Tudors of Wales The Wars of the Roses Catherine of Valois, Mother of the Tudor Dynasty Margaret Beaufort, Second Tudor Matriarch King Henry VII Arthur Tudor King Henry VIII Margaret Tudor, Sister of Henry VIII Mary Tudor, Queen of France The Birth of the Church of England King Henry VIII: Wives Two and Three King Henry VIII: The Last Three Wives King Edward VI The Nine Days’ Queen, Jane Grey Elizabeth Tudor Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots And much more!

This covers the time period from Henry VII through Elizabeth I. It examines how the Tudor dynasty came to power, the various kings and queens involved, the political maneuvering (which was intense) and the untimely deaths of some of them.
The ones most familiar will be Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
It all starts when England was really two different countries and moves on up through the Golden Age of Elizabeth I. Nobel women were used as political pawns in marriages. Religion went from Catholic to Protestant, back to Catholic for a short time then back to Protestant again.
Their reign saw the start of the Church of England, the birth of theaters, Shakespeare, alms houses for the poor and the growth of industry. On the other hand there was smallpox and plague. Keep in mind also that this all happened hundreds of years before the United States came into being.
The book also has a list of references. This was a very fundamental part of the development of England as a country and as a world power. The people involved are fascinating, some of the things done do those out of favor I find disgusting yet it all set the pattern for what came later.
A very interesting book.

I enjoyed reading this informative book which details the main events and also describes the lives (many short, others not so short) of the main characters from this period of history.
Reading this book not long after reading of the 6 wives of Henry VIII was very useful. On finishing that book I had commented on the large number of prominent people it had introduced me to, many whom I knew very little of. This book certainly rectifies that problem.
The 6 wives are discussed and a further thirteen chapters cover the reigns of a large number of monarchs from a period of just over one hundred years. One of the saddest seems to me to have been the 9 days Queen.

Anyone looking for a quick, concise biography of The Tudors (from Henry VII to Elizabeth I, plus King James I) should look no further than this book. While I know a lot of the details of the Tudors (most correct, some incorrect), I learned many new things as well as corrected other things I thought I knew. The Tudors were definitely an interesting royal dynasty, for better or worse. This book had a few typos but was a great read nonetheless.

Concise Tudor history
This book makes it very easy to follow the lines of succession in what can be a very complicated Tudor history. Devoting a chapter to each monarch is very informative. I think it's brilliant!

Easy to read thumbnail sketch of the Tudor family and the monarchs it produced in English history. Not definitive as history but a good overdue and stepping stone to further study by those that fine the period interesting.

I learned a great deal from this book, especially the history of the family. I found the information on Henry VII far more interesting here than in a documentary I saw. There is good information on both Edward and Mary as well.

Love this time in History. Loved this book. Could use more detail, though. Many grammar errors need to be fixed.

A fairly quick and simple guide from the start of the Tudor line with a quick look into the York’s and Lancasters.
