The Terrible Tudors (Horrible Histories)

Product Information

It was unusual to be ruled by a woman, because at the time, they were seen as weak and not as clever as men.

In non-stop fun, Foster and Swan command the stage with a casual flair for the dramatic, perfect timing, and surprisingly impressive vocal chops. It's packed with quizzes, sketches, music and jokes, as well as mini-dramas and real life re-enactments—telling you the kind of foul facts which just aren't available from a classroom education!An interactive spoof talent show campaign was also launched, in which various historical characters vied for the title "Horrible Hero".

The set came with tins to put the cards into, files to hold the timelines and trees, and boxes to hold the magazines. They were published by Eaglemoss Publications, distributed by Cornag Magazine Marketing, printed by UK company Headley Bros, colour originated by Icon Reproductions, and released every fortnight.From Henry VIII's archery lesson to Elizabeth I's dance tutorial, toilet inventor John Harrington to Shakespeare there are pieces of history all over the place! At just an hour (including an overlong plug for this summer’s West End show), it has silly stories, amusing accents and revolting rhymes, with the odd fact check thrown in. A series of specials and novelty books have been released, and the last book was announced to be released in 2013.
