  8. No chance to look anything but dull behind the brilliance of Anne but she is surely one of History’s great what ifs, although she may have fallen foul of Cromwell if she had tried to bring Henry back into the Catholic fold.

    I love to read about the Tudors. They were not nice people, but they certainly made a difference. Can’t imagine that European history would have been the same if Henry VIII would have had a son by Catherine of Aragon, who would have survived him and succeeded him (maybe as Henry IX?).

  28. I would absolutely love to win this book. fingers crossed, but good luck to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  29. I have loved and adored world history for many years, and I would be totally enthralled to read this piece of litrature.

But the segment you wrote in the queen Jane segment was very real and better than previous reads! Thank you for a refreshing book- best wishes-

    This historical time interests me as I am supposed to be related to a lady in waiting to Catherine Howard on my father’s ( Tilney) side.

  47. I really enjoy the feminine prospective of the Tudor ladies that Amy puts in her book. I know I will enjoy reading this new book.

    I love hearing more about Queen Jane. Because her reign was so short lived it is nice to hear more of the background story and evidence that brought her to the forefront of the Tudor story.
