Historical
Rich in detail and atmosphere, Tudors is the story of Henry
VIII’s relentless pursuit of both the perfect wife and the
perfect heir; of how the brief reign of the teenage king,
Edward VI, gave way to the violent reimposition of
Catholicism and the stench of bonfires under “Bloody Mary.”
It tells, too, of the long reign of Elizabeth I, which,
though marked by civil strife, plots against her, and even
an invasion force, finally brought stability. Above all, it is the story of the English Reformation and
the making of the Anglican Church. At the beginning of the
sixteenth century, England was still largely feudal and
looked to Rome for direction; at its end, it was a country
where good governance was the duty of the state, not the
church, and where men and women began to look to themselves
for answers rather than to those who ruled them.
