Great book news! Thanks for posting these.
A book I have long hoped for, about Chapuys, is coming out in 2014 – Inside the Tudor Court, by Lauren Mackay. I always wondered that no one had done a study of the Imperial Ambassador, whose despatches are so crucial to the study of Henry and the Missuses.
Also, on a sad note, the iconic Norfolk is dead. Nigel Davenport made the “obsolete armoured saurian” (Mattingly) rather endearingly sympathetic in <A Man for All Seasons, although I don’t know if the real Thomas Howard had much of a claim to charm.
Nigel Davenport did an excellent job in “AMFAS” within the time-frame of the movie 🙂 Another excellent Duke was Patrick Troughton. The longer scope of “Henry VIII and His Six Wives” allowed Dr Who to get the facets of Norfolk’s personality right out there onto the screen.
I, too, am looking forward to “Inside the Tudor Court”. Hope Chapuys fills lots of its pages!
I’ve got “Inside on the Tudor Court” on my tracking spreadsheet already, but if you come across more upcoming Tudor related books please let me know! It is pretty much impossible to keep up with them all.
Sad to hear about Nigel Davenport. He was also Bothwell in the Redgrave “Mary Queen of Scots” which is what I associate him with more often for some reason.
