[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Royal Favourites of Medieval England is my first work by Taylor and something that I feel compelled to point out is that I absolutely love this writer’s sense of humor. As I started reading, I must admit that I was expecting something a bit drier, but the author manages to work in some amusing observations and subtle sarcasm that gives the text a little bit of extra flavor, which I found to be a nice thing. Taylor’s style is straightforward, and a lot of information is thrown at the reader, but in a very digestible way. Through the period covered, the author provides a biography of each monarch highlighting memorable moments of their reigns followed by shorter biographies of those courtiers to whom they gave their trust and favor. This volume is an excellent overview of English history during the medieval period and offers great, quick insights into each king from William the Conqueror to Richard III. A lot of interesting and figures emerge in the book,.. Read more

Very well laid out and fascinating book! As a Tudor fanatic, I learned quite a lot of new information and found the illustrations to be lovely

I really didn’t know a lot about Elizabeth of York but was able to learn about this woman and how she started the Tudor dynasty. It was researched well and enjoyed how much passion Beverley Adams had about this.

This was a really well done nonfiction novel, I really enjoy the Tudor time-period. It had that research that I was looking for and was written perfectly. Helene Harrison has a great writing style and left me wanting to read more.
