The Tudor monarchs of England – Henry VIII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I – were perhaps the most famous and fascinating of all royal families in history. Their love affairs, political victory, and overthrow of the religious order are the subjects of countless popular scholarship works. But despite our pursuit of Henry’s male heir or Elizabeth’s so-called virginity, Tudor life is largely beyond our grasp and not as recorded by previous historians.
In the Tudor private life, the acclaimed historian Tracy Borman went deep into the monarchy public to show us how their lives looked outside the court stage. With the help of the original material closest to them – courtiers like “The Bride of the Stool”, it is surprising that borman examines Tudor-like life in detail. What did the monarch eat? What clothes do they wear, how do they design, buy and take care of? How do they exert their strength? How do they treat it when they get sick? What game did they play? How did they practice their faith? Who do they love and how did they give birth to their most important heirs?
Explore their education, upbringing and sex in court and bring us into the kitchen, bathroom, classroom and bedroom in court, Tudor private life paints the entire dynasty process, surfaces among these famous figures.
