MARY TUDOR（I***N=9781400066094） pdf 免费 地址 txt lrf 下载 kindle umd

She was the first woman to inherit the throne

of England, a key player in one of Britain’s stormiest eras, and a

leade***hose unwavering faith and swift retribution earned her the

nickname “Bloody Mary.” Now, in this impassioned and absorbing

debut, historian Anna Whitelock offers a modern perspective on Mary

Tudor and sets the record straight once and for all on one of

history’s most compelling and maligned rulers.

Though often overshadowed by her long-reigning sister, Elizabeth

I, Mary lived a life full of defiance, despair, and triumph. Born

the daughter of the notorious King Henry VIII and the Spanish

Katherine of Aragon, young Mary was a princess in every sense of

the word—schooled in regal customs, educated by the best scholars,

coveted by European royalty, and betrothed before she had reached

the age of three. Yet in a decade’s time, in the wake of King

Henry’s break with the pope, she was declared a ***,

disinherited, and demoted from “princess” to “lady.” Ever her

deeply devout mother’s daughter, Mary refused to accept her new

status or to recognize Henry’s new wife, Anne Boleyn, as queen. The

fallout with her father and his counselors nearly destroyed the

teenage Mary, who faced imprisonment and even death.

It would be an outright battle for Mary to work herself back into

the king’s favor, claim her rightful place in the Tudor line, and

ultimately become queen of England, but her coronation would not

end her struggles. She flouted the opposition and married Philip of

Spain, sought to restore Catholicism to the nation, and fiercely

punished the resistance. But beneath her brave and regal exterior

was a dependent woman prone to anxiety, whose private traumas of

phantom pregnancies, debilitating illnesses, and unrequited love

played out in the public glare of the fickle court.

Anna Whitelock, an acclaimed young British historian, chronicles

this unique woman’s life from her beginnings as a heralded princess

to her rivalry with her sister to her ascent as ruler. In brilliant

detail, Whitelock reveals that Mary Tudo***as not the weak-willed

failure as so often rendered by traditional narratives but a

complex figure of immense courage, determination, and humanity.
