From the Back Cover
Praise for In The Lion’s Court
"I cannot praise too highly Derek Wilson's prose style, which is both masterful and lively. He writes with great conviction and a breathtaking attention to the kind of personal detail that makes his books such compelling reading." --Alison Weir
"Revealing and disturbing." --Booklist
"In this exciting, scholarly book, the reader sees England and its religion being remade as men fight for office and power under an increasingly sour, unbalanced monarch." --The Dallas Morning News
“With encyclopedic complexity, the prolific Wilson traces the political webs of the period 1499-1559, ‘the sixty most creative - and, therefore, most destructive – years in [England’s] history.’ Devotees of Tudor history will find much that is provocative and fresh.” --
Publishers Weekly
“Wilson displays an impressive command of early Tudor history and an even more impressive ability to interweave so many separate stands of the great story. Remarkable research, a masterful synthesis” --Kirkus Reviews
The study contains a brilliant series of parallel portraits - a fresh look at each Thomas's family and social origins, his education, his entry into "the lion's den" of the royal Council chamber, and his exit therefrom." --Library Journal
About the Author
Derek Wilson, one of our leading biographers and novelists, came to prominence thirty years ago, after graduating from Cambridge University, with A Tudor Tapestry: Men Women and Society in Reformation England. This was followed by several critically acclaimed and best-selling books, such as Rothschild: A Story of Wealth and Power; Sweet Robin: Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester; Hans Holbein: Portrait of an Unknown Man; and, most recently, The King and The Gentleman: Charles Stuart and Oliver Cromwell 1599-1649. He has also written and presented numerous radio and television programs. Now, after three decades of study and reflection, he returns to those themes he first explored in A Tudor Tapestry.
