[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I would love to thank Pen & Sword Books for sending me an e-copy of this book and totally enjoyed while reading this book! This is the first book I’ve ever read about Queen Charlotte. So, let me tell something about this book. It’s a book which tells some informations about the real Bridgerton Court. The calm and unassuming young couple, Queen Charlotte and King George III, represented a new beginning, but those hopes soon faded.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars “Arthur Plantagenet” by Sarah-Beth Watkins is an exciting look at one of history’s lesser known figures - the illegitimate son of Edward IV and Uncle to Henry VIII, Arthur Plantagenet. The Tudor Era is one of the most interesting and intriguing periods of our history. A time of utter betrayal and a fight to survive, it was brilliant to be able to take a more detailed look at Arthur Plantagenet and his place within the structure of the Royals. Excellently written and rich in historical detail, this book is an absolute gem and will entrance fans of the Tudor period and everyone who enjoys learning about our history.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars His birth began as one of broken bonds of trust - Queen Elizabeth had long been in love with his father. He spent time at Tilburg in 1597, and yet four years later we find him independent, wealthy, and a mark for himself in Queen Elizabeth's Court. He travelled, explored, taking a letter to the Emperor of China from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. He created a sea atlas, the first of its kind, that he had published in 1646. I strongly recommend this book to lovers of Elizabethan historian. It was absolutely fascinating and I had a very difficult time putting it down.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars June Woolerton's book reminds us of British Royal Jubilees past. There actually haven't been as many as you might think. Half of them have, in fact, occurred under the present Queen (in 1977, 2002, 2012 and now 2022). The first was George III's Golden Jubilee in 1810. Although not the first king to reach the fifty year mark, he was the first to celebrate it properly, despite his poor heath. He died in January 1820, around nine months before his reign reached the sixty year milestone. Although the term 'jubilee'' was originally only intended to apply to 50th anniversaries, George's granddaughter, Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden and Diamond Jubilees in 1887 and 1897. Her own grandson, George V celebrated his Silver Jubilee in 1935. He died a few months later. June Woolerton's book fills in the gaps on these occasional traditional Royal celebrations.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Imprisoning Mary Queen of Scots: The Men Who Kept the Stuart Queen by Mickey Mayhew is an excellent nonfiction/history that delves into the fascinating and intricate lives of the many that took on the task of keeping watch over the infamous Mary Queen of Scots during her many years of imprisonment in England. This is such an amazing book that tells the background, history, and story of each of the individuals that housed Mary, their families, and even a little about the residences themselves. The author does an amazing job fitting it all in within Mary’s life and timeframe, and the reader even gets a better understanding and glimpse into her life as well. Well-researched, paced moderately, and felt effortless and more like fiction than nonfiction. Excellent. 5/5 stars
