The First Queen of England: The Myth of "Bloody Mary"
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A very sympathetic view of Mary Tudor, from her birth to her death. I did appreciate however that, while the author attempted to establish the reasoning behind her actions, she did not attempt to gloss over her less stellar moments. It is a great character study and a good start in understanding one of the least appreciated British monarchs. Some background knowledge will be useful, but the writing is accessible and flows freely.
