A Brief History of the Tudor Age (1988. 2002)
Jasper Ridley
Beginning with the arrival of Henry Tudor and his army at Milford in 1485 and ending with the death of Elizabeth I in 1603, this is an account of an eventful and contradictory age. The author draws together all the strands of Tudor social life into a tapestry displaying every aspect of the times. He contrasts the life of palaces, grand tournaments and English drama with the harshness of peasant life, terrible roads, a vast underclass, the harsh treatment of heretics and traitors and the misery of the Plague.
(mentioned: voyages of Cabot, Frobisher, The Spanish Armada, Sir Francis Drake…)
