I feel awful. So dreadfully guilty. Here it is, the 400th year since Elizabeth I passing from our world – and it has taken me until almost the last days of the year to acknowledge it at Tudor England.

Dec 1, 2003 - Wendy J. Dunn

It’s ‘a Man’s world.’ While modern society may make us debate this, there was no question that it was indeed a man’s world back in Tudor times. “Letters from the Mary Rose,” published this year with Sutton publishing, drives this point home.

The second place getter in Tudor England's Ghost story contest.

Apr 3, 2002 - Wendy J. Dunn

As good historical fiction should always be acknowledged, I'm hoping my readers at Tudor England might be interested in reading this review. The novel is set in an early time to that of the Tudors- but I'm sure people will forgive me if I step once out my time frame!

Mar 30, 2002 - Wendy J. Dunn

This truly, this is he unto whom both we and adversaries must yield and give over the dominion, so uttered Henry VI on his first meeting with his young nephew Henry Tudor. But Henry’s birth came with no loud fanfares, nor lighting of fires, heralding the birth of an English prince. I provide here a brief profile of the first Tudor King.

Part six of my serial, Catherine, Beloved Queen.

Oct 23, 2001 - Wendy J. Dunn

My lifetime study of history has taught me many things, one thing I've hold on tight to in my life: there has never been a true victory over the human spirit. It wins out even over death. Elizabeth Tudor - despite her many human failings - will forever remain 'hero' in my mind because her life story is a perfect example of how the human spirit can prevail over almost impossible odds.

'Women are weak, frail, impatient, feeble and foolish…Queens are repugnant to nature', thus ranted John Knox. I briefly respond to his view, a view shared by many during this period.

May 25, 2001 - Wendy J. Dunn

Toilets in Tudor times. I attempt here to provide an answer!

May 11, 2001 - Wendy J. Dunn

April, 1536. The English weather is warmer than one would expect for the end of Autumn, but at the court of Henry VIII the atmosphere is icy. Black clouds darken the destiny of Anne Boleyn. Very soon the beginning of May will see Anne's arrest...I say here a few words in her defense.

Catherine of Aragon came to England as a near sixteen-year old. Her life had more sorrow than I can really imagine, but I'm willing to make the attempt.

Oct 1, 2000 - Wendy J. Dunn

Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, once said Queen Elizabeth swore to him at eight - after the execution of Katherine Howard - she would never marry. I close my eyes and imagine how this could have happened...
