Listening to: The Forgotten Witnesses of Tudor Queens. Oder auch: Nicht so vergessen, wie man meint ...

Von Neuigkeiten aus der Tudor-Forschung bin ich durch das automatische Abspiel-Feature von Audible dann bei gleich dem nächsten Buch gelandet, das ich zwar nicht kannte, aber dass (leider) auch wenig neue Erkenntnisse zu bieten hatte.

Trotzdem war ich weiterhin krank und brauchte Unterhaltung, also was tun wir mit Great Ladies: The Forgotten Witnesses to the Lives of Tudor Queens geschrieben von Sylvia Barbara Soberton, gelesen von Elizabeth Jasicki?


 

There has been a great deal written about Tudor queens, but less so about those women who surrounded the throne, who may have held even more power and influence than those who actually wore the golden crown.

Some ladies who served at the Tudor court are only faceless silhouettes lost to the sands of time, but there are those who dedicated their lives to please their royal mistresses and left documentation, allowing us to piece their life stories together and link them to the stories of Tudor queens. These female attendants saw their queens and princesses up close and often used their intimate bonds to their own benefit. Some were beloved, others hated.

This is the story of the ladies of the Tudor court like you've never heard it before.
