Synopses:
Tudor Wales - The Tudors are one of history's most infamous families and the era over which they reigned still captures the public's interest without rival. 'Tudor England' in itself has become a well known phrase that covers many aspects of the era, particularly architecture, arts and the lifestyle. What is often overlooked however is that the Tudors, whilst coming to encompass all that is considered great about England, were a Welsh dynasty with their roots firmly entrenched in the hills across Offa's Dyke.
This guide will take you on a journey throughout the beautiful country of Wales and expose the reader to the hidden gems of the Tudor era, from Harlech Castle in the north to Pembroke Castle in the west, and from the holy Bishop's Palace at Lamphey to the sacredCathedral at St David's. From Dale, Carew and Penmynydd to Raglan, Conwy and Denbigh, every part of W ales has Tudor links, both to the royal Tudors and their more obscure Welsh ancestors. This guide will put you on the path to a true Tudor experience in the Land of their Fathers
Pitch to Publishers & Festival Organisers:
Tudor Wales is the only book which specifically features the Tudor Period of Wales. Tudor Wales is rare in that it is an unexplored topic when it comes to the sixteenth century, the focus tending to be directed towards English sites such as Hampton Court or Stratford Upon Avon.
Awards & Prizes: Nominated for 2015 Wales Book of the Year
