History isn't only written on the battlefield. Important decisions are often made in the quiet chambers of palaces, where the shadows of the powerful hover, whispering, prying, and scheming. While the king is played by his retinue, the queen is watched by the entire court... For thirty-six years, Henry VIII Tudor's brilliant yet shaky reign lasted in England. During this time, six queens succeeded him on the throne, most of whom suffered tragic fates. Each wife of the formidable monarch had her own secrets and confidants. Some truly loved their queen and served her faithfully, while others lied, spied, and ultimately betrayed her...

What did contemporaries see life at the Tudor court? The answer to this question is provided by a collection of thirteen gripping stories, written by Alison Weir as a supplement to the celebrated novel series "The Six Tudor Queens." The author of these and many other books, including popular science books, is a historian and writer whose works occupy top positions in the literary charts of the United Kingdom.
