HF 7 Sarah Gristwood
Sarah Gristwood: The Tudors in Love
Thurs 22 Aug 2pm Two Sisters’ Theatre
All Ticket Prices Below
In her talk, ‘The Tudors in Love,’ she’ll be offering a fresh take on the big questions. Why did Henry VIII marry six times? Why did Anne Boleyn have to die? Why did Elizabeth I’s courtiers hail her as a goddess come to earth? The dramas of courtly love – the legends of King Arthur and chivalric fantasy — have captivated centuries of readers. Too often they’re dismissed as something existing only in books and song . But in fact they both made and marred England’s most romantic royal dynasty.
Sarah Gristwood is the author of five books on the Tudor age – Game of Queens, Blood Sisters, Arbella, Elizabeth and Leicester and, most recently, The Tudors in Love: The Courtly Code Behind the Last Medieval Dynasty. Contributing regularly to Sky News, the BBC, and many documentary series on royal and historical affairs, she is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society who has also published on twentieth-century figures from Beatrix Potter to Elizabeth II, and just edited Secret Voices, an anthology of women’s diaries.
