At last a book to make people question the commonly held view of Cromwell as Henry VIII's evil minister who got what he deserved when he was executed. Schofield restores Cromwell's reputation using a painstaking study of material from Tudor times to show how flawed the current view of the man is. Crucially, Schofield bases much of his work and understanding from the religious turmoil of the time. By understanding where Cromwell stood in the religious divide of the day Schofield provides a much sounder interpretation of events than other recent works including Robert Hutchinson's badly flawed but entertaining biography of the man. So why not 5 stars? The reason for that is perhaps Schofield sometimes goes too far in his enthusiasm to defend ... Read More:

The Oxford Illustrated History of the British Monarchy (Oxford Illustrated Histories)by: John Cannon, Ralph A. Griffiths September 29, 1988 Best Selling > Books > British Royalty |
||
|
The Oxford Illustrated History of the British Monarchy is a uniquely complete book. This is a book very worthy of Oxford, consisting primarily of chapters on royal and political history generally, interspersed throughout with boxed essays on each monarch, special topics, maps, photographs and paintings. This book begins with the murky beginnings of royalty in Britain, arising out of the chaos of the post-Roman world. Here we encounter names such as Aethelberht, Raewald, and Hywel Dda -- this book doesn't just concentrate as so many do on the English monarchies, but also on Welsh and Scottish clans, lines, and kingdoms. Here we find that King Eric Bloodaxe, the Viking King of York was followed not too many years later by Edgar the Peacable, ... Read More: >>More Details |

I bought this book purely by mistake. I was purchasing a number of other books and for some reason threw this in not realising it was about the Queen Mother. However, when it arrived I thought 'well as it's here lets give it a whirl'..I knew it would be light reading and the subject really not my favourite but... What an utter blunder of a book. It should be taken off the shelves and burnt. The author has made a complete idiot of himself. He has written nothing about this woman that one hasn't read in "Hello" or "Women's Own". He has kept his views so totally "safe" and "boring"...for heavens sake man...we all know that behind the sickly sweet smile on her face was a hardened woman who had major hang ups because apparently, she wanted David but ended ...

Elizabeth I (Profiles in Power)by: Christopher Haigh 1988-09 Best Selling > Books > British Royalty |
||
|
This is a useful book if you already have a basic knowledge of the period. Haigh writes from the revisionist view point and has written a book as far from the 'Good Queen Bess' outlook as possible. Not all of what he says is complimentary but it is an interesting insight into Elizabeth. This book is good if you want to have your views on Elizabeth challenged. Well worth reading.

Henry I (Yale English Monarchs)by: CW Hollister August 15, 2003 Best Selling > Books > British Royalty |
||
|
The English Monarchs series has brought the highest standards of historical scholarship to the wide audience. Leading historians scrutinize the lives of the kings and queens of England and explore the cumulative impact of the longest permanent governing institution in Europe.
This engrossing biography on Henry I paints a new portrait of Henry I, son of William the Conqueror. Henry was less brutal, greedy, or repressive king as historic reputation suggests, but he was the ultimate pragmatist. C. Warren Hollister describes vividly Henry's life and reign in a time of fundamental change in the Anglo-Norman world. For me this is the standard biography on King Henry I, a work of outstanding scholarship. >>More Details |
