About This Book
The narrative surveys mid-Tudor political and religious turmoil, detailing court intrigues, shifting factions, and measures of ecclesiastical reform under successive rulers. It follows a young noblewoman from her family background and scholarly education through guardianship and marriage into a factional power struggle, describes the plans that thrust her into a contested succession, and traces her brief elevation and confinement. Interwoven are portraits of prominent figures, examinations of legal and religious maneuvers, and accounts of trials, imprisonments, and the wider social unrest that shaped the period.
