Summary:

They were present at some of the defining moment of the Tudor age. They were christened, married and buried by the Church. And their stories have been untold for many years. Kaufman has unearthed the remarkable stories of Africans who lived free in Tudor England, and in doing so transforms how we see this period of history.
