Winter King
Henry VII and the Dawn of Tudor England
Thomas Penn
Explore a dramatic moment in history with Winter King. Follow the story of Henry VII, the first of the Tudor kings, as he clambered to the top of the heap of England's tumultuous political scene in 1501. Despite the many who considered him a false king, Henry had a crucial asset with his queen, Elizabeth, and their children. The arrival of the Spanish princess for his son's wedding marked a triumphant moment in his reign. However, Winter King also reveals the darker side of Henry's rule, as he becomes a controlling, paranoid, and avaricious monarch. This book offers a rich insight into the dramatic birth of Tudor England.
