Tudor People: Rebels, Rogue's Villains, And Victims

The Tudor period was a brutal age. Rebellion or religious dissent was punished harshly and many perished under the axe or at the hands of the hangman. The genuine belief in witchcraft, demonic possession and spiritual messages that permeated all levels of society led to trickery and deceit. This collection, an edited volume from 1000 Tudor People, highlights these aspects of Tudor Society. AUTHOR: Melita Thomas has a doctorate in Early Modern Studies from University College London.
