A historical exploration of the lost heirs and pretenders whose fates shaped and could have altered the Tudor succession. Two commoners pretend to be royalty to bring down the Tudors. The long-awaited Tudor prince dies of the Sweat on his fifteenth birthday. The Queen of Scots is ruthlessly executed by the Queen of England. A seventeen-year-old ascends the Throne of England to rule it for a mere nine days. The last Plantagenet prince is put to death to facilitate a much-longed-for marriage alliance. From Mary, Queen of Scots, to Lady Jane Grey, from Edward, Earl of Warwick, to Arthur Tudor and on to Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, these were the Lost Heirs to the Tudor Throne. They were the ones who - had luck favoured them - could have ascended the Throne of England. With an overview of the lives of the Princes in the Tower and the Battle of Bosworth, this book delves into the lives of these commoners and royalty alike, who may have rewritten history had they ascended the throne.
