Synopsis

Step into the wildly complicated world of the Tudors—where marriages could change a country, family arguments could become religious revolutions, and getting too close to the throne was occasionally hazardous to your neck.

STRANGE BUT TRUE: THE WEIRD HISTORY OF THE TUDORS explores the outrageous, dramatic, and often unbelievable true stories behind one of England’s most famous royal dynasties.

From Henry VII’s shaky claim to the crown to Henry VIII’s six marriages, Anne Boleyn’s spectacular rise and fall, Edward VI’s short reign, Lady Jane Grey’s disastrous nine days, Mary I’s phantom pregnancies, and Elizabeth I’s lifelong refusal to marry, the Tudor era rarely behaved itself.

Along the way, discover royal toilets with political importance, terrible medical treatments, extravagant feasts, bizarre fashions, religious chaos, dangerous court gossip, botched executions, haunted palaces, secret plots, spies, disputed heirs, and the strange truth behind some of the biggest Tudor myths.

Written in a lively, cheeky style, this is history for readers who enjoy the facts but would rather not feel as though they are trapped in a classroom.

Inside you’ll discover:

• How Henry Tudor won England despite having a surprisingly questionable claim to it

• Why Henry VIII’s search for a son helped tear England away from Rome

• What really happened to Henry’s six wives

• How Anne of Cleves managed to turn royal rejection into an excellent retirement plan

• Why Lady Jane Grey became queen for roughly the length of a bad vacation

• The truth behind Mary I’s phantom pregnancies and “Bloody Mary” reputation

• How Elizabeth I survived plots, foreign enemies, religious conflict, and decades of people asking when she planned to get married

• Tudor executions, ghosts, myths, strange medicine, extravagant food, and much more

Executions, Rotten Marriages, Royal Tantrums, Religious Chaos, Phantom Pregnancies, and Other Completely Normal Family Problems.

If you like strange history, royal scandals, bizarre true stories, and historical facts that sound completely made up but aren’t, The Weird History of the Tudors belongs on your shelf.
