Told for the very first time is the true story of the secret royal family, The Dudley s - Pre-order now.
___________

Each Tudor monarch made their name with a Dudley by their side - or by crushing one beneath their feet. The Dudleys thrived at the court of Henry VII, but were sacrificed to the popularity of Henry VIII. Rising to prominence in the reign of Edward VI, the Dudleys lost it all by advancing Jane Grey to the throne over Mary I. Under Elizabeth I, the family were once again at the centre of power, and would do anything to remain there . . .

With three generations of felled favourites, what was it that caused this family to keep rising so high and falling so low? Here, for the first time, is the story of England s Borgias, a noble house competing for proximity to the throne through cunning, adultery and sheer audacity, revealing some of the period s most talented, intelligent and cunning individuals.
