Book overview
Step into the most dramatic century in English history, where five monarchs changed the world forever.
Meet Henry VII, the unlikely hero who won a kingdom in battle. Henry VIII, who married six times and broke from the Catholic Church. Boy-king Edward VI, who ruled from age nine. Tragic Mary I, England's first queen regnant. And Elizabeth I, the brilliant queen who defeated the Spanish Armada and created a Golden Age.
But this isn't just about kings and queens.
Discover what life was really like 500 years ago: What Tudor kids ate for breakfast. Why everyone drank ale instead of water. How people dressed without zippers. What games children played. The bizarre foods at royal feasts. Why bathing was considered dangerous. How Shakespeare's plays entertained rowdy crowds at the Globe Theatre.
