Download Tudors: The History of England From Henry VIII to Elizabeth I: History of England, Book 2 AudioBook Free
From Henry VIII's cataclysmic break with Rome to the epic rule of Elizabeth I, the age of the Tudors involves vivid life in sound. Peter Ackroyd, one of Britain's most acclaimed freelance writers, brings the age of the Tudors to vivid life in this monumental audiobook in his History of Great britain series, charting the span of English background from Henry VIII's cataclysmic break with Rome to the epic rule of Elizabeth I. Rich in aspect and atmosphere, Tudors is the story of Henry VIII's relentless quest for both perfect wife and the perfect heir; of the way the short royal reign of the teenage king, Edward VI, provided way to the violent reimposition of Catholicism and the stench of bonfires under "Bloody Mary". It instructs, too, of the long reign of Elizabeth I, which, though designated by civil strife, plots against her, and even an invasion make, finally brought balance. Above all it is the tale of the English Reformation and the making of the Anglican Church. At the start of the sixteenth century, Great britain was still largely feudal and appeared to Rome for way; at its end it was a country where good governance was the work of the state, not the chapel, and where women and men began to look to themselves for answers rather than to the people who ruled them.
