Description
|
|
|
|
Kingmakers, conspirators, criminals, nobles, and seducers, the Howard family, headed by the Dukes of Norfolk, were the wealthiest and most powerful aristocrats in Tudor England, and saw themselves as the true power behind the throne. They were extraordinarily influential, with two Howard women—Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard—marrying Henry VIII. But in the treacherous Tudor court no faction could rest on its laurels, and the Howards consolidated their power with a vast web of schemes and conspiracies. A Tudor historian and the founding editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, Robert Hutchinson chronicles a family whose history is marked by treason, beheadings, and incarceration.
