What did the monarchs eat? What clothes did they wear, and how were they designed, bought, and cared for? How did they wield power? When sick, how were they treated? What games did they play? How did they practice their faith? And whom did they love, and how did they give birth to the all-important heirs?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring their education, upbringing, and sexual lives, and taking us into the kitchens, bathrooms, schoolrooms, and bedrooms at court, \u003ci\u003eThe Private Lives of the Tudors\u003c\/i\u003e charts the course of the entire dynasty, surfacing new and fascinating insights into these celebrated figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"No royal family is better known...But there's still much to learn from \u003ci\u003eThe Private Lives of the Tudors\u003c\/i\u003e thanks to the expertise and persistence of Borman...The most captivating moments of Private Lives, and there are plenty of them, bring the reader into other personal Tudor moments of strength, weakness, and heartache.\"--\u003ci\u003eChristian Science Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Comprehensively researched and compulsively readable...thoroughly entertaining.\"--\u003ci\u003eMinneapolis Star Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracy Borman\u003c\/b\u003e is England's joint chief curator of Historic Royal Palaces and chief executive of the Heritage Education Trust.
