"I would recommend this book to historians studying the Plantagenet period. Little is written about Edmund, so this book adds greatly to the knowledge of the period and the people around Edward l."

The ninth century Historia Brittonum is the first source that mentions Arthur and lists twelve battles, including the famous Badon Hill. Much ink has been spilt debating the identity and location of Arthur. This book will demonstrate that some of the battles can indeed be located with some confidence. Rather than fit a specific theory as to his identity the battles are placed in the fragmenting provincial, political and military context of the late fifth and early sixth century Britain. As a history lover, King Arthur is one historical figure that I knew very little about prior to reading this book. So I was delighted to be granted my wish to read an advanced review copy of ‘The Battles of King Arthur’ by Tony Sullivan, who has written several books on King Arthur. It’s a wonderful trip back in time and very interesting to read a non fiction account of a figure who is so popular in myths and legends! I will definitely be checking out Tony Sullivan’s other books. I’d recommend.. Read more

A fascinating look at the end of the life and times of Elizabeth I.
We read about her decline in her latter years although she is still able and one step ahead. She faces decisions about the Armada, Irish problems, and unrest at home with the succession.. At the time of her demise, she is alone without her favourites and courtly love. The information has been thoroughly researched and is presented in a clear and readable manner.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
A meticulously researched bit of history which details the life of Henrietta Anne, or Minette as her brother, Charles the second, used as her pet name, as she was his beloved younger sister. This covers the Civil War period, and her subsequent time at the French court, and is very well written as well as being a brilliant piece of historical research. I knew about the life of Madame, but I wanted to know more, because I am fascinated by her. I have read many of the books written by this author before, and was very pleased to get a complementary copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The author has written some good books, but the research on this book is impressive, and I have not read all her books, so it would be difficult to say this is the best. However the amount of research and the ease of reading makes this book my favourite out of the books that I have read by this author. I would highly recommend the book..
