A fresh look at the endlessly fascinating Tudors - the dramatic and overlooked story of Henry VII and his founding of the Tudor Dynasty - filled with spies, plots, counter-plots, and an uneasy royal succession to Henry VIII.
Near the turn of the sixteenth century, England had been ravaged for decades by conspiracy and civil war. Henry Tudor clambered to the top of the heap, a fugitive with a flimsy claim to England’s crown who managed to win the throne and stay on it for 24 years. Although he built palaces, hosted magnificent jousts, and sent ambassadors across Europe, for many Henry VII remained a false king. But he had a crucial asset: his family - the queen and their children, the living embodiment of his hoped-for dynasty. Now, in what would be the crowning glory of his reign, his elder son would marry a great Spanish princess.
Thomas Penn re-creates an England that is both familiar and very strange - a country medieval yet modern, in which honor and chivalry mingle with espionage, realpolitik, high finance, and corruption. It is the story of the transformation of a young, vulnerable boy, Prince Henry, into the aggressive teenager who would become Henry VIII, and of Catherine of Aragon, his future queen, as well as of Henry VII - controlling, avaricious, paranoid, with Machiavellian charm and will to power.
Rich with incident and drama, filled with wonderfully drawn characters, Winter King is an unforgettable account of pageantry, intrigue, the thirst for glory, and the fraught, unstable birth of Tudor England.
Thomas Penn has a PhD in early Tudor history from Clare College, Cambridge. Winter King is his first book.

torrent won’t complete to 100%. Sorry, I didn’t quite get this right. Will probably re-seed soon.

Thanks so much for the effort. I am stuck @ 99.9. All of the mp3 files except for 16 went to 100%. File 16 is @ 98.8% and the .nfo and txt file aren’t complete. I checked the MP3 files and it shows 14hrs 34 mins. So maybe it will still work? I’ll try and report back.

Sorry for this mistake. By some error of my own the torrent I uploaded included files that I did not have.
There is another upload of this on audiobookbay that should be active.

Hi there. I was actually able to listen to the end of the book. All files were @ 100% except for file 16 which was stuck @ 98.8% and the nfo/txt files. File 16 gets to the end and some of the credits so it worked just fine for me. Total book length was 14 hrs 03 mins and the audible recording is 14 hrs 34 mins. No need to apologize my friend, I truly do appreciate the effort and this torrent worked for me.
