Description: As England's most celebrated royal dynasty it's often overlooked that the Tudors have their origins in rural Wales far from the urban centres of English power where they dared to become great. When Henry Tudor won the English crown by defeating Richard III in battle he was a stranger to the people he now ruled an unknown Welshman in the words of his defeated foe. In his native Wales however Henry had long been championed as the Son of Prophecy a foretold national messiah who would free his oppressed people from their lengthy misery. How had this remarkable situation come about? In this lucid and riveting account Nathen Amin deftly explores how one redoubtable Welsh family thrived during lean years of political chaos national instability and intergenerational bloodshed to leave behind a complex legacy that changed the face of England and Wales forever. It is a passionately told tale of treachery cunning love and heartbreak. From Penmynydd to Bosworth this is the enthralling action - packed story of the Tudors but not as you know it.
