To celebrate the release of my first Elizabethan Mystery this week,
Murder at Hatfield House, we are going to look at some fun Tudor history this week! And we're starting out with something very fun indeed. I used to do a feature here called Hottie Monday, so I thought we could take a look at some of the hotties of the Tudor age, and see which one we like best....
First up: the big daddy of them all, Henry VIII!
The original....
Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Henry as hipster?)
Ray Winstone (Henry as Cockney thug?)
Keith Mitchell
Charles Laughton (Henry as Ren faire turkey leg eater?)
Richard Burton
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester!
Jeremy Irons
Joseph Fiennes
Tom Hardy
Robert Hardy
The Original
And his stepson, Robert Deveruex, Earl of Essex!
Hugh Dancy
Robin Ellis (aka Poldark)
Erroll Flynn
The Original
Hans Matheson
Walter Raleigh...
Clive Owen
Vincent Price (!!!)
The original...
And a couple of one-offs....
Kevin McKidd as the Duke of Norfolk
Henry Cavill as Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk (my personal favorite!)
So, time to vote! Which is your favorite of the Tudor hotties???
The schedule for the rest of the week:
Tuesday: favorite film Elizabeths
Wednesday: Tudor castles
Thursday: a closer look at historical secondary characters
Friday: fun research facts I've uncovered
Saturday: Heroine of the Weekend

Jeremy Irons can do no wrong, though Kevin McKidd makes a strong showing. Hm. Think I need to look at these pictures a while longer.
It definitely requires deeper study :)
It was Jonathan RM, hands down, until I saw Tom Hardy... then Henry Cavill... Difficult choice. Can I take all three?
