<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A rich biography of "Bloody Mary" that exposes other themes in Mary Tudor's reign. Bearing extraordinary burdens, Mary ruled with full measure of the Tudor majesty and met the challenges of severe economic crises, rebellion, and religious upheaval capably and with courage. Photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Here is the tragic, stormy life of Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon. Her story is a chronicle of courage and faith, betrayal and treachery-set amidst the splendor, pageantry, squalor, and intrigue of sixteenth-century Europe. <p/>The history of Mary Tudor is an improbable blend of triumph, humiliation, heartbreak, and devotion-and Ms. Erickson recounts it all against the turbulent background of European politics, war, and religious strife of the mid-1500s. The result is a rare portrait of the times and of a woman elevated to unprecedented power in a world ruled and defined by men.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A book of considerable literary distinction.

She has fleshed out the indistinct shade of Mary Tudor so that we perceive her as a living, breathing human being." --<i>Jessica Mitford</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Distinguished historian <b>Carolly Erickson</b> is the author of <i>Rival to the Queen</i>, <i>The Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots</i>, <i>The First Elizabeth</i>, <i>The Hidden Life of Josephine</i>, <i>The Last Wife of Henry VIII, </i> and many other prize-winning works of fiction and nonfiction.
