This biography of Henry Tudor delves into his ancestry, tracing his lineage across several generations before detailing his path to the English throne. The book places a particular emphasis on the Tudors’ Welsh heritage and connections.
Excerpt:
The book (will) fully explore the paternal lineage of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, and examine in detail the life and times of his Welsh ancestors. Delving back eight generations through the family tree, close attention will be paid to the accomplishments and misdeeds of the figures who paved the way for Henry’s eventual triumph, to the wider struggles of the Welsh, and in particular their clamouring for a national deliverer to surface after many false dawns. The Tudor accession in England came not in spite of their Welshness, as we’re often led to believe, but in many ways because of this Welsh inheritance.
Who is this book for?
Fans of English, Welsh and Tudor history will enjoy having this detailed look at Henry Tudor and his ancestors. This story goes back to the 12th century, and so offers a good overview of how the Tudor family emerged and became important players on the island of Great Britain.
“What I really love about Nathen Amin’s book is that it breaks new ground and offers valuable insight into Henry Tudor and his origins before he became king. It also examines the make-up of Wales at the time and how that impacted English politics and could have a stake in who sat on the throne. For Henry Tudor, Wales was a pivotal part of his life.” ~ review by Helene Harrison in the Tudor Blogger.
