Betrayal, Power & Paranoia

The Fall of the Duke of Buckingham 

 

Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, had everything—royal blood, vast wealth, and a place at the heart of Henry VIII’s court. But in 1521, his world came crashing down. Accused of treason, condemned in a rigged trial, and executed on Tower Hill, Buckingham’s downfall was a chilling warning to the nobility.

 

Was he truly plotting against the king, or was he a victim of Henry VIII’s paranoia and Cardinal Wolsey’s political scheming?

 

A powerful noble, a dramatic trial, and a brutal execution—this is the story of one of the Tudor era’s most shocking betrayals.
