The Tudors (An Alternative History of Britain)

Timothy Venning

4.9/5 (31587 ratings)

Description:Continuing his exploration of the pathways of British history, Timothy Venning examines the turning points of the Tudor period, though he also strays over into the early Stuart period. As always, he discusses the crucial junctions at which History could easily have taken a different turn and analyses the possible and likely results. While necessarily speculative to a degree, the scenarios are all highly plausible and rooted in a firm understanding of actually events and their context. In so doing, Timothy Venning gives the reader a clearer understanding of the factors at play and why things happened the way they did, as well as a tantalizing view of what might so easily have been different. Key scenarios discussed in this volume include: Did the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck ever have a realistic chance of a successful invsasion/coup? If Henry Fitzroy, Henry VIII s illegitimate son, had not died young, might he have been a suitable King or at least Regent on the King s death? What if Edward VI had not died at 15 but reigned into the 1560s and 70s? How might the Spanish Armada have succeeded in landing an army in England, and with what likely outcome?REVIEWS a timely and very entertaining look at various points in the Tudor dynasty that would have decidedly different outcomes had things not panned out the way they actually did. A hugely entertaining game, and this excellent book from Pen and Sword is very well written and utterly fascinating.Books Monthly UK"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
