An interesting look at the women who fought for their faith in an age of increasing religious division and an age where conformity to the religious will of the state was expected.

An enthralling study of the often-overlooked consorts of the Stuart dynasty. This delightful volume, truly epic in scope, reveals the personalities and politics of the full panoply of Stuart queens and kings consort, not shying away from the tumultuous events and crises of the dynasty."

I think the tragic life of lady Jane is so interesting (and sad). I’m not much of a history girl but I felt this was informative and a good length with the right amount of information.

For most of us who like the history about the Tudor era, and thought they knew about Anne Boleyn 's downfall, think again and read this book.
A brilliant, and thoroughly researched book on the final months of her life and those that brought her demise... thanks to the author, many unanswered questions have answered thanks to the authors vast knowledge on the subject.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars This is a layman accessible and interesting monograph on the life and works of Margaret More Roper. As a women of the period, she is nearly always considered a footnote in her father's biographies, but here the author has written a balanced and well reasoned consideration of her in historical context in her own right as a primary subject and not just an aside. The book is written with chapters in more or less chronological order: early life, the More household, education & adolescence, marriage & writing, motherhood, Humanism & reputation, reputation, loyalty, mortality (the imprisonment & death of her father), and their/her legacy. The book is meticulously annotated throughout and the chapter notes and bibliography will provide readers with many (many!) hours of further reading. Five stars. It's both a well written and researched study of the More family and allies (and enemies), but also a well rounded study of Humanism, intellectualism, and the possibilities.. Read more
