Book Review: “Henry VIII – and the Men Who Made Him” by Tracy Borman

June 26, 2019 by Tudors Dynasty Leave a Comment

I purchased this book with a bit of hesitation because my library is full of book on the most infamous Tudor king. I wondered if Borman would be able to open my mind to any new information, or if I would be disappointed in the regurgitated information that I have read over the years. Here is a bit about the book in case you are not familiar: Henry VIII is best known in history for his tempestuous marriages and the fates of his six wives. However, as acclaimed historian Tracy [More]

August 28, 2018 by Tudors Dynasty Leave a Comment

Shared & Written by Heidi Malagisi of Adventures of a Tudor Nerd One of the greatest mysteries of all time is what happened to the young princes, the sons of Edward IV, who were held in the Tower of London. Many people believed that they were killed. There are some who believe that Richard III had them murdered and there are some who say that Henry VII ordered the deed to be done. But what if they were never killed? What if they survived? That is the premise of Matthew [More]

July 28, 2018 by Tudors Dynasty 1 Comment

  Guest review by Heidi Malagisi Elizabeth I was perhaps the most influential monarch in English history. There are episodes in her life that became legendary. From her tumultuous childhood to her reign where everyone either wanted her to marry or put someone else on the throne, Elizabeth?s life was hardly easy. Even though much is known about her public life as queen, we really do not know a lot about her private life. In Alison Weir?s book, ?The Life of Elizabeth [More]
