DD has been enamored of the Tudors since she was four and we ran across them in our history studies. She and I share books on them, and we both enjoyed Alison Weir's newest book, Innocent Traitor, which is all about poor lady Jane Grey. It was really fun to see dd at four (and she was petite) reciting, "divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived" in a singsongy voice.
Henry was reputed to be quite handsome in his younger days. It's a shame he let himself go, but maybe it was just desserts for his cruel treatment of his wives.
