This book examines the lives and tenures of all the consorts of the
Tudor and Stuart monarchs of England between 1485 and 1714, as well
as the wives of the two Lords Protector during the Commonwealth.
The figures in Tudor and Stuart Consorts are both incredibly
familiar—especially the six wives of Henry VIII—and exceedingly
unfamiliar, such as George of Denmark, the husband of Queen Anne.
These innovative and authoritative biographies recognise the
important role consorts played in a period before constitutional
monarchy: in addition to correcting popular assumptions that are
based on limited historical evidence, the chapters provide a fuller
picture of the role of consort that goes beyond discussions of
exceptionalism and subversion. This volume and its companions
reveal the changing nature of English consortship from the Norman
Conquest to today.
