Pomp, Excess, and Murder with The Tudor Dynasty | CrimeReads

The Tudor Dynasty lasted a little over 100 years, from 1485-1603, but their rule was one of the most dramatic and unforgettable in European history. The period sat on the cusp of modern society - influenced by the European Renaissance, yet haunted by superstitions from the medieval past. Plenty of authors use the Tudors as a springboard for their stories, and I'm one of them. Rather than focus on the politics and imbroglios associated with nobility, my Bianca Goddard Mysteries tell the stories of commoners - people with no political clout, but who must navigate their king's peevish policies.
