The Making of the Elizabethan Navy 1540-1590: From the Solent to the Armada
ISBN: 9781843834922 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When Henry VIII came to the throne in 1509 the English Navy was rather ad hoc: there were no warships as such, rather just merchant ships, hired when needed by the king, and converted for military purposes, which involved mostly the transport of troops and the support of land armies. There were no permanent dockyards and no admiralty or other standing institutions to organise naval affairs. Throughout the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary, and the early part of the reign of Elizabeth, all this changed, so that by the 1580s England had permanent dockyards, and permanent naval...

The Cecils
ISBN: 9781905615551 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For over 50 years one family dominated England's high offices of state.

The Tudor Navy: An Administrative, Political and Military History
ISBN: 9780859679220 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Tudor Navy is a subject which is very unevenly known. The last significant general histories were written at the end of the last century. Since then much detailed research has been undertaken, particularly on the Armada, the end of Henry VIII's reign and the early Elizabethan period. As a result, it has been generally thought that the navy went through a series of booms and slumps during the sixteenth century. Further research on the intervening periods now presents a much more even picture of development, although the pace of advance was uneven. At the same time naval history has tended...

Mary Tudor
ISBN: 9780631184492 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Few English monarchs have a worse reputation than Mary Tudor. She has been seen both as a religious fanatic who tried against the will of her people to reverse the course of the Reformation and as the pawn of her husband, Philip II of Spain - her infatuation with whom led her to betray England's vital interests.
How this pious, and by contemporary accounts, gentle woman aroused an antipathy that survives until the present is a central question in David Loades's sensitive biography, now in paperback. Based on research into the documents of the time (many newly uncovered) the... Few English monarchs have a worse reputation than Mary Tudor.

Mary Tudor
ISBN: 9781445608181 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Mary Tudor was the first female English sovereign - a ruling queen who was not simply the consort of the king. Yet little is known about this complex woman, whose reputation for ruthlessness belied her emotional fragility and who, like her half-sister Elizabeth, had to survive from childhood in the turbulent Tudor court. David Loades explores the twisting path whereby Princess Mary, daughter of a rejected wife, Catherine of Aragon, and a capricious father - Henry VIII - endured disfavour, personal crisis and house arrest to emerge as Queen of England with huge popular support. The high...

The Six Wives of Henry VIII
ISBN: 9781445618975 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The story of Henry VIII and his six wives has passed from history into legend - taught in the cradle as a cautionary tale and remembered in adulthood as an object lesson in the dangers of marrying into royalty. The true story behind the legend, however, remains obscure to most people, whose knowledge of the affair begins and ends with the aide memoire 'Divorced, executed, died, divorced, executed, survived'. David Loades' masterly book recounts Henry's whole sorry tale in detail from his first marriage, to his brother's widow Catherine of Aragon, to his more or less contented old age in the...
