Resumen del Editor

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Tudors, then pay attention....

Four captivating manuscripts in one audiobook:

• 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.

Decent overview of the Tudor Dynasty

The subject matter always interesting for me, and as a free it always attractive. I was satisfyingly surprised while I was listening to it! While not elegantly written, it does deliver a high quality outline of the period in an easy to read and entertaining format.

A nice effort by the author.

This book is the author's attempt to present the famous Tudor dynasty shown of myth and legend. Accordingly he provides a fresh look at these mostly famous English rulers. Beginning with Henry Tudor, and ending with Elizabeth I. Along the way the author focuses on Henry VIII who was responsible for a brutal legacy that was extremely bloody and left the country bankrupt.

I absolutely love this book

This book is a prodigious means for anyone who is studying during this time period. This is a great resource to have on hand. Plus I just like looking through it and seeing what events happen on certain date.

Good Book.

Easy to read and pleasurable, very well documented and tempting to know further about the history of England and Scotland. The style of writing was fluid and made for enjoyable reading.

Tudor life from royalty to commoner.

The contents of the book are comprehensive, nothing happened in isolation. I especially like the long descriptions presented by the author.

British regal history

For anyone interested in British regal history, this is a must. There is tremendous detail as to the administration of the kingdom and the roles of such as The Privy Council and the King's Secretary etc.

A top guide to the tudors.

If you are a history buff, try this another great book from captivating history. Their series is great.

A facinating guide.

I am in love with Captivating History's books. Books from these writers always described the topic well enough.

Always a fascinating listen!

I've always loved Tudor history, and to get this in a 4-pack to listen to, what a find! I was ecstatic. And I listened to all of this in one go. I rarely do that with audio books, but here we are! This book series, now audio series has done it again! Thank you!

Good One

Quit a good med for the Tudor dynasty lovers however, the author offered too many opinions rather than keep himself on a single track. I was hoping a thoroughly historic account.
