The five monarchs of the Tudor dynasty are among the most famous (or perhaps infamous) monarchs in history. There's Henry VII and his victory at the Battle of Bosworth; Henry VIII and his multitude of wives (Who among us left school without being able to recite Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived?); Young Edward, Bloody Mary and the indomitable Elizabeth I, who warrants admiration for her sheer force of will alone.
And whether you consider this period to be a pinacle of literature and naval exploration or a time courtly intrigue and politics that makes The Godfather look tame, the Tudors have been perpetual source of fascination for us. Unsurprisingly, the names from this period are also fascinating.
