Publisher's summary

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.

I found it very supportive and informative

A comprehensive history that defines the mortality of England’s royal line. Very interesting and easy to understand and follow. I activated it in order to check the precision of some other books and videos I was reading and watching.

The Whole Tudors

This book, narrated by the late Robin Sachs, is fantastic. As a narrator, no one else is as good except Simon Vance. The contents of the book are comprehensive, covering Henry VII improbable rise to king through his son, the most infamous Tudor and continuing with all three of his children this book gives you the complete story.

Not happy with narrator

The narration was very poor but the content was great. That’s why I kept listening. The narrator sounded robotic and mispronounced a kit of words. It was almost painful at times. They could have done a much better job and the book would have been totally transformed.
