'Excellent . . . Fresh, learned, readable and full of life' Dan
Jones, Mail on Sunday Houses of Power is the result of Simon
Thurley's thirty years of research, picking through architectural
digs, and examining financial accounts, original plans and drawings
to reconstruct the great Tudor houses and understand how these
monarchs shaped their lives. ________ What was it like to live as a
royal Tudor? Why were their residences built as they were and what
went on inside their walls? Who slept where and with who? Who chose
the furnishings? And what were their passions? ________ The Tudors
ruled through the day, throughout the night, in the bath, in bed
and in the saddle. Their palaces were genuine power houses - the
nerve-centre of military operations, the boardroom for all
executive decisions and the core of international politics. Far
more than simply an architectural history - a study of private life
as well as politics, diplomacy and court - it gives an entirely new
and remarkable insight into the Tudor world.
