Power Couples of the Tudor Era (Hardback)

I really enjoyed ‘Power couples of the Tudor Era.’ While many of those mentioned in the book were known to me it was so interesting to read about them in the context of their relationships and how they worked together to have influence in the Tudor era. I was also introduced to several new names and it was so refreshing to learn about the wider court and courtiers of these times and not just the monarchs.
Jo Romero’s book is informative and interesting and I would recommend it to lovers of Tudor history.

This is a fascinating look at the Tudor Era. The author has obviously done a lot of research on the subject, if the huge footnotes section has anything to go by. I was most interested in the legend and villain Himself, Henry VIII and Katharine of Aragon. Henry's audacity knew no bounds than to ask his wife of 20 YEARS plus one child for an annulment. Lessor known couples are also featured.

Power couples is the Tudor era? Yes please. What a great focus for a book and one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Today’s news is all the ‘power couples’ of modern day, but the power couples of Tudor times paved the way for more than just drama and gossip, they could shape history!

The research the author put into this book was plain to see and made reading this book super enjoyable and easily immersible.

I absolutely love reading about this period of history and reading from a new angle and perspective is one I always welcome. And from the fresh vantage point of power relationships, from kings and queens, to advisors and more, I definitely felt I came away all the richer in learning about this. A fantastic read!
