For much of this time she ruled alongside her husband, King Philip II of Spain, forming a co-monarchy that put England at the heart of early modern Europe. In this book, Alexander Samson presents a bold reassessment of Mary and Philip’s reign, rescuing them from the neglect they have suffered at the hands of generations of historians. The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip’s important contributions as king of England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Informative, well illustrated and with plenty of rich detail, this thought-provoking study dismantles many of the myths about Mary and Philip and their joint reign as monarchs of England.’  \u003cbr\u003eLinda Porter, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003eThis is a truly excellent revisionist study of the reign of Mary I, and should be read by specialists and students so that rehabilitation of Mary I can continue.'\u003cbr\u003eValerie Schutte, \u003ci\u003eRoyal Studies Journal \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This is a book full of learning, one that entertains as much as it enlightens, and it should be read and considered by anyone involved in the growing field of Marian—and now also Philippine—studies.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJournal of British Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1 Prenuptial\u003cbr\u003e2 Contracting matrimony\u003cbr\u003e3 Wyatt and the queen’s regal power\u003cbr\u003e4 A marriage made in Heaven?\u003cbr\u003e5 Royal entry: London, 18 August 1554\u003cbr\u003e6 Anti-Spanish sentiment in early modern England\u003cbr\u003e7 Spanish Tudor \/ English Habsburg\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041024803159,"sku":"9781526160249","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526160249.jpg?v=1750948646","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mary-and-philip-the-marriage-of-tudor-england-and-habsburg-spain-9781526160249","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
