True Tales of Tudor York

This book is about the history of York during the reign of the Tudors, the people who lived there and those who shaped their lives. The whole of the Tudor dynasty is covered from just before the coronation of Henry VII in 1485 to slightly after the death of Elizabeth I in 1603.

The contents include royal visits, rebellions, religious unrest, plagues, earthquakes, flooding, the treatment of the poor and ordinary life. If you've ever been to York, you'll recognise many of the streets and buildings as they still exist today. If you haven't, I don't work for the tourist board, but I do hope the book inspires you to pay a visit to this wonderful history-filled place.
