Author Richard Rex combines his expertise on the dynasty with an authoritative understanding of its religious and political aspects, providing a comprehensive yet balanced view of the period.

The book explores how the Tudors shaped the beginnings of modern England by breaking with Rome, a momentous event that had far-reaching consequences.

Rex brings to life the famous and infamous key players of the Tudor age, including John Fisher, Thomas Moore, Thomas Wolsey, and Mary Queen of Scots, as well as lesser-known figures such as Robert Devereux. Through lively portraits and detailed narratives, Rex paints a vivid picture of the dynasty and its impact on British history.
