An early Tudor translation of the Cite des dames, a crucial argument written by Christine de Pizan on the importance of women. Christine de Pizan's defense of women against centuries of misogyny, Cite des dames, was the only work of literature translated into English by Brian Anslay, an administrator in the household of King Henry VII. While numerous manuscripts were held in royal and aristocratic libraries, Anslay's printed translation enabled a broader range of readers to appreciate the arguments for female rule crucial to the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I. Anslay's translation also played a key role in the late-nineteenth-century revival of interest in Christine. This modernization of Anslay's Tudor English makes his translation accessible to contemporary readers while preserving the rhythms of early Tudor prose. It includes an extensive introduction and notes highlighting both the history of the language and the cultural references embodied in the text. 19 color plates and 1 halftone CPSIA choking or other US hazard warning - No California Proposition 65 hazard warning necessary

Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VII. Detail of Mary from a manuscript depicting Mary and her first husband, the aged Louis XII of France. Mary (1496-1533) married Louis in October 1514; the marriage was brief as Louis died the following January. Mary, perhaps fearful of having to enter another political marriage to another unappealing candidate, urged Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk to marry her. Suffolk was Henry VIII’s close companion and was on France to promote English interests and to safeguard Mary. According to Charles, Mary wept and begged him to marry her, although judging by their good marriage it doesn’t seem to have been an unappealing prospect for Charles. They married in secret in mid February and although initially furious, Henry became good friends again with Brandon. The couple had three surviving children including a son and two daughters although their son died shortly after Mary.

Tomb effigy of Elizabeth I. The large marble monument was by Maximilian Colt, assisted by John de Critz, and dates to early seventeenth century (during the reign of James I, Elizabeth’s successor). The jewellery and regalia on the effigy are modern pieces, dating to the 1970s. The tomb, which cost £1,485, is situated in Henry VII’s Lady Chapel in Westminster Abbey. The monument also marks the grave of Mary I, England’s first crowned Queen Regent (Elizabeth’s coffin rests on top of Mary’s). Mary and Elizabeth were both the daughters of Henry VIII and traditionally both are portrayed as representing opposing sides of the religious schism that dominated English affairs throughout the sixteenth century. Modern assessments, particularly those focusing on Mary, have questioned such longstanding perceptions.
