Adam Pennington is a Plantagenet and Tudor historian, podcaster and author based in London. Henry VIII and the Plantagenet Poles: The Rise and Fall of a Dynasty is his first published work. Born and raised on the London and Surrey borders, his childhood home practically overlooked Nonsuch Park, the location of the sadly lost Tudor Palace of the same name. With so much Tudor history on his doorstep, Adam developed a passion for the Tudor dynasty from a young age. Adam runs the popular The Tudor Chest blog and social accounts, and is co-director of Simply Tudor Tours, a historic tour company.
