From Henry VII to Elizabeth I, the Tudor period is probably the most popular period in English history. Whether you love to read about the Tudors themselves, or about the everyday people and events that defined the period, we look forward to having you share your thoughts with us.
Although Mary, Queen of Scots belonged to the House of Stuart, her grandmother was a Tudor. Given that she had Tudor ancestors, and that her later history was so intertwined with that of her cousin Elizabeth I, it is hard to discuss Tudor history without touching upon Mary. As such, we welcome members to post their thoughts on Scotland's most famous queen.
