More than four hundred years ago, seven people were beheaded in the Tower of London. Three had been queens of England. The others were found guilty of treason. Why were such important people put to death?
Alison Weir’s gripping book tells their stories: from the former friend betrayed by a man set on being king, to the young girl killed after just nine days on the throne. Traitors of the Tower is a short, sharp shot of royal revenge from the master of popular history and one of Britain’s top-selling historians, Alison Weir.
‘Weir provides immense satisfaction. She writes in a pacy, vivid style, engaging the heart as well as the mind’ Independent

I enjoyed these short stories.. A good introduction to History of The Tower for readers not into History books.... I would have liked more details on each person as it is a favourite subject of mine....
I used to think that reading history especially about the UK was really dull but I was wrong after I read this book, I thought living as a royal, you always had a good life and endless fortune. However they stabbed each other in the back and accused each other of committing treason.
