The Tudor story is a story of power and love. The founder of the dynasty, King Henry VII, used the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table to justify his claim to the crown. Henry VIII saw courtly love as an excuse for his tumultuous marriage life. When his daughter Elizabeth ascended the throne, courtesan love would play a special role in her female monarchy. Researcher Sarah Gristwood tells the story of how the Tudors, the most famous dynasty of the Middle Ages, loved. The siege of the Castle of Love and jousting tournaments, the code of courtesan love and the romantic tradition of Guinevere all underpinned Tudor power and permeated the era in which they lived. It was an era defined by the ardent hearts of princes and poets, maids of honor and queens.
