The Tudors takes place in roughly 16th Century England during the Reign of King Edmund the Second in the Renaissance Style. Centered around the Royal Court of England, many whispers abound about the tension growing between England and France. For now, an uneasy peace lingers between the three great powers, England, Spain and France. Many rumors spread about England's less than model ways, rumors which have reached the ears of the Pope himself who has dispatched Emissaries to England to begin to assess the situation and work to return the nation back to God. It is hard for the modern mind, schooled in the concepts of human rights, to appreciate that in the sixteenth century you did not have to be a twisted psychopath to believe that fines, imprisonment, corporal punishment, and even the death penalty were justified in the interest of establishing and maintaining the unity of society. How long will the peace last? Will war ravage the lands of England or France? Where will Spain side in this when and if the time comes? And what of the new Queen of Scotland right on England's back step? It is up to you, the players to decide. The Tudors remain among the most instantly recognizable of England’s monarchs, but what if the story was different?
