The Illustrated Tudor Dictionary

About this book

Offers a comprehensive and visually engaging guide to key figures, events, and themes of sixteenth-century England. The Illustrated Tudor Dictionary is unique. For the first time, the Tudor Age has been brought to life in an illustrated dictionary format that is clear and easy to read. It is aimed at anyone who wants to widen and deepen their knowledge of sixteenth-century England. Cross-referencing is made easy with highlighted text and numerous, beautiful images provide further insight into this period. All notable characters, events and themes are covered, ranging from Henry VIII, education and the Battle of Bosworth to Francis Drake, the Reformation and the Spanish Armada. Several entries also deal with lesser-known characters and aspects such as Will Somer, marriage and Parliament. The book aims to include all of the important facts but, at the same time, provide the reader with fascinating trivia. The following questions, for example, are answered: Which king's head was used as a football? Who was the first female ambassador in European history? Who had to be buried at midnight to prevent a riot? Why was a leading European academic abducted, blindfolded and forced into a fishing boat? Which 'wizard' claimed he could communicate with angels? Why is a hangman's rope displayed in a school cabinet? Which monarch always cheated at cards? Written in a concise and balanced style, The Illustrated Tudor Dictionary is the best introduction for students and lovers of history to the heroes and villains, the saints and sinners and the glories and disasters of the Tudor Age.
