Publisher's Synopsis
""England Under The Tudors"" by Arthur D. Innes is a comprehensive historical account of England during the reign of the Tudor dynasty, covering the period from 1485 to 1603. The book traces the political, social, cultural, and religious developments of the era, examining the reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I in detail. It explores the key events and personalities of the Tudor period, including the Reformation, the rise of Protestantism, the dissolution of the monasteries, the Spanish Armada, and the Elizabethan era of cultural and artistic achievement. Innes provides a balanced and nuanced analysis of the Tudor era, drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources to give readers a thorough understanding of the period. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction for students and general readers interested in Tudor history.In January 1536 the deeply-injured Katharine died; to be followed ere many months had passed by her supplanter. Ostensibly, Henry had married Anne Boleyn, because a male heir was needed to secure the succession; but she had borne him only a daughter and a still-born son. Henry was disappointed in her. Moreover, his passion had for some time been cooling: nor was her character--even on the most favourable reading--calculated to retain affections that had begun to wane. She was frivolous and undignified; her arrogance and her assumption had left her few friends.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
