The Tudor Court

David Loades

Professor Emeritus, University of Wales
Member of the History Faculty, University of Oxford


First published by Batsford in 1986 this book went through two revised editions with Headstart History and the Davenant Press. The new edition of this standard work on the Tudor Court includes new chapters. Nevertheless what David Loades  wrote on the court in the 2003 Preface remains true.

 

In looking at the court we see themes of perpetual conflict between the need for magnificence and the danger of runaway costs.. demands of patronage and access on the one hand and the need for control and security on the other. The Tudor monarchy was more institutionalised than most…but  remained a personal monarchy in the flamboyant renaissance mode … the court remained the epicenter of politics, fashion and fortune….the centre of government and policy making.
