About The Event
Join Tudor Times for two consecutive afternoons of talks on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October 2026 4pm London time from six experts discussing Henry VIII and his in-laws with an introductory talk about the importance of family networks at the Tudor court.
So much focus is placed on Henry's queens as individuals that we often forget that in the sixteenth century marriages were family alliances, rather than personal relationships. By looking at Henry's in-laws we can gain a much wider understanding of how political power was won and lost in sixteenth century Europe
Included in the price are six downloadable .pdf family trees, showing 6 generations of the families of Henry's in-laws. These will be sent out two weeks before the summit.
When you purchase your ticket, you will provide us with your email address so that we can send you the link to the Summit, a couple of days…
