Intrigue and Treason by David Loades
Pursues the Kings and Queens of sixteenth century through an unprecedented period of upheaval when there was no adult male to take the throne. Through an original study of both the politics and culture of the age, this book shows how the monarchy and state adapted to a completely new form of rule: that of women and children.
'This is a penetrating and colourful study of the mid-Tudor CourtLoades has responded to both the revived interest in Edwardian and Marian politics and the current fascination with the Court to explore and demonstrate the role of the royal home as a political arena and the heart of government. He also provides fresh, stimulating and important assessments of Philip, Elizabeth and other focal figures.' Michael Graves, University of Auckland '...an excellent survey of the most difficult period of Tudor history.' '...well worth reading for those with an interest in Tudor England, or more broadly, Renaissance monarchy in Europe.' Victoria Stater, American Historical Review, February 2006
