The Tudors are one of the most deeply-researched and pored-over dynasties in English history, and it is easy to think we know the story and the actors all too well.
Brigden's main goal is to show the Tudor period as one of transition between a series of 'old worlds' and outlooks as opposed to modern viewpoints and 'new worlds'.
During this highly eventful period, according to the author, the Protestant Reformation, the conversion of the nobility to one of personal service to the monarch and the exploration of new lands across the Atlantic all were new worlds.

Above all, the Tudor epoch emerges as a battleground between the new world of Protestantism and the old one of unquestioned Catholicism-a great religious rent in the fabric of English society that underlies turbulence and carnage from Henry VIII's break with Rome to the threat of conquest by Spain.
As the first Tudor king passed by, the common people looked on, their lives affected more by the fecundity of the harvest, which happened to be good in 1485, than by any change of dynasty.
The Welsh poet who praised Henry Tudor for setting the Welsh free was not mistaken: in a series of charters of enfranchisement granted to communities of North Wales in 1504-8 he released his countrymen from the legal restrictions imposed upon them by Henry IV after the revolt of Owain Glyndwr.

Henry Tudor, a claimant to the throne of Lancastrian descent, defeated Richard III in battle and Richard was killed.
With the marriage of Henry to Elizabeth, the sister of the young Princes in the Tower, reconciliation was finally achieved between the warring houses of Lancaster and York in the form of the new Tudor dynasty, which combined their respective red and white emblems to produce the Tudor rose.

 Tudor Rule 1485-1603
Tudor rule was plagued by military threats abroad, and religious factions, rival claimants to the throne and rebellions at home.
The author states that the whole fabric of life, formerly based on the Mass and religious festivals, was abruptly discarded; that the people, facing plagues and bad harvests and the threat of war from Catholic nations, were thrown into a time of desperation, believing as they did in the divine justice of God.
Brigden states that the Lost Worlds of the Tudors were, in England and Wales, the certainties of medieval religion and the structure of feudal life.

Brigden's view of the Tudor period unifies the often confusing currents of monarchs and families by embedding the characters into a richly painted tapestry of the religious context of the period.
Her device is to show the wrenching effect on the nation's people and institutions of the rapid pendulum swings of religious orthodoxy at the throne over the course of the Tudors.

To cover so many levels and issues in Tudor society, would be a large feat for many a historian, however this author has come up trumps.
At times, some of the well know points of the history of the period are lightly covered, but as these are generally and widely covered by other authours, this as meant that the spotlight can be turned onto the lesser known facts.
The Tudors and their courts are equally portrayed as ruthless tyrannical lairs turning largely on the whims of a sovereign.

The Tudor Dynasty began with Henry VII and marked the end of the Wars of the Roses.
The Tudor reign was ended in 1603 with the ascension of James I (James VI of Scotland), a Stuart, when the country become known for the first time as The United Kingdom.
Although the Tudor period was one of enormous cultural and social development the country was also subject to much fluctuation and instability; wars in Ireland and abroad, repeated outbreaks of the plague, which culminated in the devastation in 1665, after the Tudor period, of religious controversy and political instability.

This a sad loss, since the Tudors had far more impact on Wales than perhaps any other dynasty, even forgetting their Welsh precedents.
Henry VIII's acts of 1536 centralised and united Wales for the first time since Glendower, and far more decisively, while the Welsh Reformation is probably THE decisive event in Welsh history - an event that preserved the Welsh language and laid the basis for Welsh literacy.

 History of England from the Tudors to the Stuarts (Detailed Description)
During the 229-year period from 1485 to 1714, England transformed itself from a minor feudal state into what has been called "the first modern society" and emerged as the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world.
And what a story it is. The English survived repeated epidemics and famines, one failed invasion and two successful ones, two civil wars, a series of violent religious reformations and counter-reformations, and confrontations with two of the most powerful monarchs on Earth, Louis XIV of France and Philip II of Spain.
England’s changing social, economic, religious, and political structures unfold while first the Tudors (1485-1603) and then the Stuarts (1603-1714) establish their monarchies, and you hear the facts behind such enduring stories as:

 THE PENGUIN HISTORY OF BRITAIN - Susan Brigden - Penguin UK
The leading figures of the time have become almost mythical, and the terrors and grandeurs of Tudor Britain have resonance with even the least historically minded readers.
Above all Brigden sees the key to the Tudor world as religion - the new world of Protestantism and its battle with the the old world of uniform Catholicism.
This great religious rent in the fabric of English society underlies the savage violence and turbulence of the period - from Henry VIII's break with Rome to the overwhelming threat of the Spanish Armada.
