"The Reign of Mary Tudor" is the work of the famous historian James Anthony Froude, which examines the period of the reign of Mary Tudor, the daughter of Henry VIII and the first wife of Catherine of Aragon. The book details the events and political reforms of the time of Queen Mary, also known as "Bloody Mary" because of the Catholic reaction and suppression of Protestants in England. The author analyzes the causes and consequences of the religious conflicts of the time, and uses original sources and historical evidence to create an authentic account of this complex period of English history. Great for history and politics buffs, as well as anyone interested in women's rule in the Middle Ages.
