What is House Of Treason - The Rise and Fall of A Tudor Dynasty about?

xi, 402 : 20 cm "The Howard family were the wealthiest and most powerful aristocrats in Tudor England. Acclaimed historian Robert Hutchinson tells the dramatic story of the Dukes of Norfolk, whose fatal pride and ambition almost destroyed a powerful Tudor dynasty." "Robert Hutchinson describes the human drama and tensions for a turbulent century in the history of the Howards, and of England. Loyally serving Tudor monarchs at the forefront of English military and naval exploits, the Howards were not content with mere battlefield glory, and the fame and fortune which resulted. Intrigue and conspiracy ran in the veins of successive generations, but flawed ambition and crass stupidity dogged their attempts to creep ever closer to the Tudor throne. Two Dukes of Norfolk were condemned as traitors; another was beheaded. Other family members were frequently - and sometimes falsely - incarcerated on suspicion of disloyalty to the throne. As far as the Tudor monarchy was concerned, the Howards were a house of treason."--Jacket Includes bibliographical references (pages 359-383) and index Part 1: Back from the Brink -- Rebuilding the Dynasty -- Guardians of England -- Part 2: The Struggle for
