BIRTHDAY
GIVE AWAY!
I am very excited to announce the next give away for
the Anne Boleyn: From Queen to HistoryA facebook page! On June 6th my
little facebook page will celebrate its first birthday and to celebrate I
wanted to thank all of you wonderful people by giving away a Tudor book!
I started this page almost a year ago with the
encouragement of several dear friends - Natalie from On The Tudor Trail and Claire
from The Anne Boleyn Files – two beautiful and amazing woman who inspire me
more and more each day!
When I started this page I never thought that I
would come this far. I never thought that I would be able to write posts about
Anne and Mary Boleyn and Tudor history. And never in my wildest dreams did I
ever imagine that I would have the opportunity to meet and befriend so many
beautiful and amazing people.
Over the last year my love of Tudor history has
grown from strength to strength. I started this page because I had a fascination
and admiration for Anne Boleyn, yet as I continued to read about Tudor history
I found that I fell in love with her sister Mary Boleyn. I adore both of the
Boleyn sisters and find them to be such a source of strength and inspiration in
my life.
To celebrate my little facebook page turning the big
ONE, on June 6th I am excited to be able to give away a copy of
David Load’s new book “The Tudors”
The Tudors History of a Dynasty
By David Loades
This book is abut one of the most powerful and
influential dynasties in English history, a dynasty of five monarchs who ruled
their domain fo over a century. The Tudors were concerned to build a government
that would endure, hence their constant concern with the succession – an anxiety
which lasted throughout the century.
Although all Tudor monarchs believed that their
authority derived from God, they had different ways of expressing that
conviction, and above all they ebleived in ruling with consent and advice. For
this reason they built partnerships, not with the old nobility as their
predecessors had done, but with the wider community of the genry, and above all
with parliament. They were not in any sense democrats, but the partnerships
which they built in church and state lasted for centuries, and still influences
the way we look at our polotics today.
The Tudor age was an era of momentous religious,
social and political chance and David Loades provides an expert overview of
this pivotal period of British history.
While I have not read this book myself yet I have
read several of David Loades other books and I have to say that I quite adore
him as an author! He has a very smooth writing style that flows and is easy to
read. His books also contain a wealth of knowledge and I have learnt quite a
lot about Tudor history through reading Loades’ books. I have my own copy and am looking forward
to reading this book myself!

Tudor history is so fascinating ~ the dynamics between religion and politics, much as it is today. The royals still very much intrigue us and it seems the fascination never ends. Congrats on your one year anniversary!
