21. The Waiting Game: The Untold Stories Of The Women Who Served The Tudor Queens

Moot

Nicola Clark

Uncover the untold story of the ladies-in-waiting who served Tudor queens. More than confidantes, they wielded quiet but powerful influence – brokering marriages, delivering secrets, and navigating court politics. From María de Salinas, who spied for Catherine of Aragon, to Jane Parker, instrumental in two queens’ executions, these women shaped history from behind the throne. Through their daily lives – what they wore, ate, and where they slept — Nicola Clark reveals the hidden power of Tudor women in a world where loyalty could mean survival. This is the first full account of the women who served, and outlived, their queens.
