Sarah Gristwood - The Tudors in Love (Book signing available) Sat 27th July 4.00pm
The Tudors in Love examines the big questions with a fresh take. Why did Henry VIII marry six times? Why did Anne Boleyn have to die? Why did Elizabeth I’s courtiers hail her as a goddess come to earth? The dramas of courtly love – the legends of King Arthur and chivalric fantasy -- have captivated centuries of readers. Too often they’re dismissed as something existing only in books and song. But in fact they both made and marred England's most romantic royal dynasty.
Sarah Gristwood is the author of five books on the Tudor age - Game of Queens, Blood Sisters, Arbella, Elizabeth and Leicester and, most recently, The Tudors in Love: The Courtly Code Behind the Last Medieval Dynasty. Contributing regularly to Sky News, the BBC, and many documentary series on royal and historical affairs, she is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society who has also published on twentieth-century figures from Beatrix Potter to Elizabeth II, and just edited Secret Voices, an anthology of women's diaries.
