The Tudors: How Love Shaped Politics and International Diplomacy in Medieval England Why did Henry VIII marry six times? Why did Anne Boleyn have to die? Is it true that Elizabeth I’s courtiers hailed her as a goddess come to earth?
The dramas of courtly love have captivated readers and dreamers for centuries. Yet they are too often dismissed as something that only existed in fairy tales and songs—old legends of King Arthur and chivalry.
In fact, it’s much more interesting. In The Tudors in Love: How They Loved and Hated in Medieval England, Sarah Gristwood reveals how courtly love made and broke the Tudor dynasty: from Henry VIII’s declaration of himself as Anne Boleyn’s “faithful servant” to the poetry lavished around Elizabeth I by her admirers. The Tudors reprised the roles of devoted lovers and capricious mistresses first portrayed in the romances of medieval literature.
