Jasper Tudor - Breverton Terry

The Wars of the Roses were a bitter and bloody dispute between the rival Plantagenet Houses of York and Lancaster. Only one man, Jasper Tudor, the Lancastrian half-brother to Henry VI, fought from the first battle at St Albans in 1455 to the last at Stoke Field in 1487 and lived to forge a new dynasty – the Tudors.Fighting the Yorkists, rallying the Lancastrians and spending years in exile with his nephew, the future first Tudor monarch, Henry VII, Jasper was the mainspring for continued Lancastrian defiance. He was twenty-four years old in his first battle and fifty-three when he won at Bosworth Field in 1485. Now he could style himself ‘the high and mighty prince, Jasper, brother and uncle of kings, duke of Bedford and earl of Pembroke’. Without the heroic Jasper Tudor there could have been no Tudor dynasty. This is the first biography of the real ‘kingmaker’ of British history.

Owen Tudor - Breverton Terry

‘The Welsh habit of revolt against the English is an old-standing madness … from the sayings of the prophet Merlin they still hope to recover their land. Hence, they frequently rebel … but because they do not know the appointed time, they are often deceived and their labour is in vain.’ (Vita Edwardi Secundi)The appointed time, it turned out, was 1485. For generations, the ancestors of Welshman Owen Tudor had fought Romans, Irish Picts, Vikings, Saxons, Mercians and Normans. His uncles had been executed in the Glyndwr Welsh War of Independence. Owen fought for Henry V in France and entered the service of Henry’s queen, Catherine of Valois. Soon after the king’s death he secretly married her, the mother of the eight-month-old Henry VI. Owen and Catherine would have two boys together. Henry VI would go on to ennoble them as Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Jasper Earl of Pembroke, but upon Catherine’s death Owen was imprisoned. Escaping twice, Owen was thrown into the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses with his two sons. It would be Edmund’s son, Henry Tudor, who would take the English throne as Henry VII.When Jasper led the Lancastrian forces at Mortimer’s Cross in ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Breverton's Nautical Curiosities - Breverton Terry

A compendium of fascinating information about the great waters that cover two-thirds of our Earth and the men and women that sailed them.Breverton''s Nautical Curiosities is about ships, people and the sea. However, unlike many other nautical compendiums, the focus of this book is on the unusual, the overlooked or the downright extraordinary. Someone most of us do not know, Admiral William Brown, is given equal coverage to Admiral Nelson. Without Admiral Brown releasing Garibaldi, modern Italy might not exist. And without the barely known genius John Ericsson designing the Monitor, the Confederacy might have won the American Civil War. Readers will be stimulated to read more about the remarkable men - explorers, admirals and trawlermen - who have shaped our world. The sea has had a remarkable effect upon our language. We hear the terms ''steer clear of'', ''hit the deck'', ''don''t rock the boat'', ''to harbour a grudge'' and the like, and give little thought to them. In the pages of this book, the reader will find the origin of ''bumpkin'', a ''brace of shakes'', ''born with a silver spoon'', ''booby prize'', ''to take on board'', ''above board'', ''bombed'' (in the sense of being drunk), the ''blues'', ''blind-side'', ...

Owain Glyndwr - Breverton Terry

If it had not been for Owain Glyndwr''s 15-year struggle against overwhelming odds, the Welsh would not have survived as Europe''s oldest nation. His war is the defining era in the history of Wales. Yet Glyndwr is hardly known - a cultured, literate warrior who was never betrayed or captured and vanished into history. No less than six separate invasions were beaten back by Glyndwr''s army of volunteers before he disappeared, his family and children either dead or imprisoned for life. Not for Glyndwr the brutal public death of Braveheart, nor a grave to desecrate - only an immortal legacy of hope and freedom. His war of independence led the way for the success of another mab darogan (son of prophecy) seven decades later, when a Welsh army won at Bosworth Field and the Tudor dynasty was founded. This book tells us how Glyndwr came to stir Wales into war, and why his name still resonates today as one of the greatest warriors the world has ever seen.

Whether housesharing with Philip Pullman, trading one-liners at RADA with Ralph Richardson, shooting the breeze with Clint Eastwood, partying with Jerry Hall, acting in Edwardian comedy with Rex Harrison or dodging fights with Sid Vicious, Edward Tudor Pole has proved himself equal to many a challenge.

Tudor - Leanda de Lisle

*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*Tudor tells a family story like no other.The Tudors are a national obsession, undoubtedly British history''s most notorious family. But beyond the well-worn headlines is a family still more extraordinary than the one we thought we knew.The Tudor canon typically starts with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, before speeding on to Henry VIII and the Reformation. But this leaves out the family''s obscure Welsh origins; it passes by the courage of the pregnant thirteen-year-old girl who would help found the Tudor dynasty; and the childhood and painful exile of her son, the future Henry VII. It ignores the fact that the Tudors were shaped by their past - those parts they wished to remember and those they wished to forget.With this background, Leanda de Lisle enables us to see the Tudors in their own terms and presents new perspectives and revelations on key figures and events, from the princes in the Tower to the Tudor Queens.''A lively history of the ambitious Tudor family... It casts plenty of light on the strong women in the dynasty'' The Times**A Telegraph, History Today and BBC History Magazine Book of the Year**

The Story of Tudor Art - Christina J. Faraday

A unique, illustrated history of Tudor England told through its art and artefacts.The Tudor dynasty (1485–1603) gave England five monarchs and an age of relentless power plays, scandal, and transformation. Thanks to artists like Hans Holbein the Younger, we feel we have a definite idea of the characters of these famous kings and queens: the miserly Henry VII, the six-times married tyrant Henry VIII, the boy king Edward VI, the devout matriarch Mary I and the virgin queen Elizabeth I. Yet, iconic as they are, when it comes to Tudor art, portraits – and rulers – are far from the whole story.In the sixteenth century, images and objects took on powerful new roles, as more people than ever before used them to shape their worlds. Monarchs, archbishops and courtiers continued to commission artworks in a variety of media, to convey messages and create a record of themselves as office-holders and individuals. But in this period, the ‘middling sort’, professional men and women, were also gaining status, wealth and influence. They wanted to promote themselves too, and used art and a dazzling array of objects to do so.In this unique and beautiful book, Christina Faraday uses art – paintings, sculpture, prints, ...

Globální tyranie ... Krok za krokem: Organizace spojených národů a vznikající nový světový řád - Jasper William F.

Tato kniha je nejobsáhlejší studií o OSN a jejím hlavním cíli: totální světové vládě. William F. Jasper dokumentuje závažný zásah organizace do prakticky všech aspektů našich životů, včetně ekonomiky, politiky, armády, životního prostředí, rodiny a dokonce i náboženství.Skeptici a pochybovači se setkali; neexistuje způsob, jak diskreditovat zprávu Williama Jaspera. Tato pozoruhodná kniha je mnohem víc než jen souhrn faktů; Jasper nabízí výuku politické teorie, moudrosti našich zakládajících vlastenců, podstaty lidské přirozenosti a světové politiky od roku 1900 do současnosti.Jasperovým cílem není pouze představit relevantní fakta, ale představit je tak komplexním a souvisejícím způsobem, aby jejich plný význam a význam otevřel mysl čtenáře tomu, co se v naší době skutečně děje. Žádný jiný autor nepokryl tento materiál ani toto časové období jak oddaností k pronikavým detailům, tak schopností spojit všechna vlákna, která Jasper předvádí. Po 45 letech dezinformací a zmatků ohledně OSN se konečně její role stává zcela zřetelnou.

Aby tři měsíce předstírali manželství a ona ho doprovodila na svatbu. Nejspíš by musela přijít o rozum, kdyby souhlasila. Ale její věčně zadumaný manžel se zdá být zoufalý. Však jde o pouhé tři měsíce. Potom se s Jasperem Valem rozloučí a s trochou štěstí se přivítá se svým novým hotelem.

Using her position as cousin to the deceased king, her father and his conspirators put her on the throne ahead of the king’s half-sister Mary, who quickly mustered an army, claimed her crown and locked Jane in the Tower. When Jane refused to betray her Protestant faith, Mary sent her to the executioner’s block.

Mary Tudor, Queen of France, aims to explore the life of one of the few who stood up to Henry VIII and lived to tell the tale.

Mary grew up in close proximity to Henry, becoming his favourite sister, and later, after her marriage to the French king, she married his best friend, Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. The events impacting the siblings will be reviewed to examine how they may have changed and shaped their relationship.

Women's Lives in the Tudor Era - Amy McElroy

Women in the Tudor age are often overshadowed by their male counterparts. Even those of royalty were deemed inferior to males. Whilst women may have been classed as the inferior gender, women played a vital role in Tudor society.As daughters, mothers and wives they were expected to be obedient to the man of the household, but how effective would those households be without the influence of women?Many opportunities including much formal education and professions were closed to women, their early years spent imitating their mothers before learning to run a household in preparation for marriage. Once married their responsibilities would vary greatly according to their social status and rank. Widowhood left some in vulnerable conditions while for others it enabled them to make a life for themselves and become independent in a largely patriarchal society.Women’s Lives in the Tudor Era aims to look at the roles of women across all backgrounds and how expectations of them differed during the various stages of life.

Tudor Executions - Helene Harrison

The Tudors as a dynasty executed many people, both high and low. But the nobility were the ones consistently involved in treason, either deliberately or unconsciously. Exploring the long sixteenth century under each of the Tudor monarchs gives a sense of how and why so many were executed for what was considered the worst possible crime and how the definition of treason changed over the period. This book examines how and why Tudor nobles like Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham; Queen Consort Anne Boleyn; Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey; and Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, fell into the trap of treason and ended up on the block under the executioner’s axe. Treason and the Tudor nobility seem to go hand in hand as, by the end of the sixteenth century and the advent of the Stuart dynasty, no dukes remained in England. How did this happen and why?
