A biography of the great family which ruled England from the late 1400s to the early 1600s. In this personal rather than political history, historical writer Plowden examines the origins of the family and interweaves the lives of the five Tudor monarchs with lesser-known branches of the tree. Originally published in 1976 by Weidenfeld and Nicolson. Includes b&w illustrations. Distributed by Books International. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
