As most of you are aware the historian Leanda de Lisle now has a website, Leanda de Lisle, a Blog and is on Facebook and Twitter.
Her previous work, ‘The Sisters Who Would Be Queen: The Tragedy of Katherine, Mary and Lady Jane Grey’, revealed that the only contemporary description of Lady Jane is a fake, discovered the funeral details of Mary Grey and exposed some of the myths about their mother, Frances, Duchess of Suffolk.

Leanda’s new book, ‘Tudor: The Family Story’ will be published by Chatto & Windus on 29th August.
So what revelations can we expect about the Tudors? Leanda’s website gives a sneak peak….
I am particularly excited about the following:
• ‘New revelations on Mary Tudor and Lady Jane Grey.
• Flodden seen from the perspective of two Queens, Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scots & Katherine of Aragon.
• Uncovered manuscripts re-construct the life of Henry VIII’ niece Margaret Douglas. A player in key events over four Tudor reigns who plots – ultimately successfully – for her heirs to inherit Elizabeth’s throne.’
