While you have Antony’s (?) ear, could you ask him what ever became of Gwentilian Stradling, daughter of William Stradling and Annes Gwynne? He had an illegitimate daughter named Margaret, who married a Robert Poyntz. Was Gwentilian sent off to a nunnery?

I love how the spirit world has informed some posters precisely how this novelist’s fictional work differs from reality. I sense that Starkey and Schama may want to consult with them now as well, we can’t have Channel 4 putting out rubbish unapproved by the spirits, now can we? What a load of rubbish…………

[…] annoyed do fit the context of the story. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed this one quite as much as The White Queen, but I would recommend […]

I did not have high expectations when I heard she was doing Elizabeth Woodville, but it doesn't sound bad. .-= Schatzi´s last blog ..Cleopatra’s Daughter Giveaways =-.

I liked this one very well, it was refreshing to read a more sympathatic take on Elizabeth Woodville. Your review is fantastic, love the history background you share!!

I loved The Other Boleyn Girl, but was disappointed by all her other books in the Tudor series and am reluctant to read any of her other books. `I know nothing about this period in history so I think I’ll wait until I see a raving review from someone who isn’t studying it first – no offence intended! It is good to know that you enjoyed it.

Glad that you enjoyed this one so much. I am dying to get a chance to read it, and will be getting a copy very shortly. It’s neat that you have so much knowledge about the book’s subject. I can imagine it made for really interesting reading. Great review!

I love that you give us an expert opinion! I liked what I’ve read of Gregory’s writing, and I’ll definitely keep this book in mind.
