![]() ![]() The book has a great selection of images, and a comprehensive index. Particular attention is paid to some of the more gory or unusual aspects of the events described which is quite novel and something that some history books skate over. These include the poisoning of Bishop Fisher, the blackened heart of Katherine of Aragon, Mary I’s phantom pregnancies, and the kidnap of Mary Queen of Scots, among many others. The book covers 45 different events of the Tudor period which are the most grisly events of the period rather than the most common events. It’s written in really short chapters which makes it easy to read and dip in and out of and return to if you want to refresh your memory on a particular event. This is quite a different take on the Tudor period which I really enjoyed. ![]() ![]() Thanks to Pen and Sword for gifting me a copy of this to review. ![]()
