BBC History Magazine | June 2013
For the June issue of BBC History Magazine we chart the origins of the Tudor dynasty – from Henry Tudor's childhood imprisonment in Brittany, to his bloody victory over Richard III at the battle of Bosworth. Also this month, we investigate the death of suffragette Emily Davison at the Epsom Derby in 1913, look beyond the public image of Elizabeth I as an all-conquering Tudor beauty to reveal a monarch plagued with insecurities and ill health, and explore the first ascent of Mount Everest through the stunning photography of George Lowe.
