Tudor Times

(When Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, he became the first of one of the most famous lines of English monarchs. His son, Henry VIII, always remembered for his six wives, quarrelled with the Church of Rome and made himself head of the Church of England. Elizabeth I was the last Tudor monarch. During her reign England became a wealthy trading country, Drake sailed round the world, and the English navy defeated the Spanish Armada. Literature flourished and during this period Shakespeare wrote many of his most important plays. This book shows what life was like in Britain in Tudor Times)
