Biography: general

Paperback. Mary Tudor is often written off as a twisted queen who tried desperately to pull England back to the Catholic Church that was so dear to her mother, and sent many to burn at the stake in the process. This biography argues that Mary, neither boring nor basically bloody, was a hard-working, 'hands on', and decisive queen than is commonly recognized. Series: Routledge Historical Biographies. Num Pages: 296 pages, black & white illustrations, black & white line drawings, figures, black & white plates. BIC Classification: 1DBKE; 3JB; BGH; BGR; HBJD1; HBLH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 202 x 130 x 20. Weight in Grams: 300.
