reviewed Monarchy and incest in Renaissance England on January 19, 2012 Monarchy and incest in Renaissance England
Not a book to sit down and read straight through, I think -- the format means that all kinds of events are jumbled together, regardless of chronology -- but fun to dip into. James VI was married by proxy on my birthday, apparently -- and there were many suspicions of witchcraft. I love the 'headlines' that come underneath each date, which result in bizarre ones like "William III dies, killed by a mole".
