will brighten every festive season."

A
Tudor Christmas
|
 |
||
|
The lavish court of Henry VIII did nothing by halves and his celebration of Christmas was no exception. King Henry's patronage of the arts was carried on by his daughter Elizabeth I whose death in 1603 ended to Tudor Period. A Tudor Christmas selects just some of the songs, dances and instrumental music that exemplified what it was to celebrate Christmas at the Tudor Court and throughout the kingdom as a whole. |
