This was a strong look at Katherine Howard’s final days, it had that element that I was looking for and thought worked as a historical nonfiction book. It was researched well and learned a lot about this. Marilyn Roberts has a strong writing style and am excited to read more.

I really enjoyed the research behind this book, it was interesting to read about the people that tried to claim the Tudor Throne.

Well researched and highly detailed, there was lots to learn here about the daughters of Edward I. I found this a fascinating read.

I have read a book on a similar topic before, which was published in 1994. As the author reminds us of the last attempt at a monarchist coup in Germany, it proves one thing – the topic is still relevant and worth exploring.
I was very impressed by the structure of the book. I learned a lot of new things, for example, about Portuguese history, which I believe is not as well-known. Each chapter was very well organized, and the events were clearly described. The text is engaging and informative, which allowed me to learn a lot.
This book is a great contribution to the literature on monarchies and their falls.

An enthralling study of the often-overlooked consorts of the Stuart dynasty. This delightful volume, truly epic in scope, reveals the personalities and politics of the full panoply of Stuart queens and kings consort, not shying away from the tumultuous events and crises of the dynasty."
