Hi to everyone, just joined.

 

I love all kinds of history.  I am currently having a splurge on biographies but I am reading through the Morland Dynasty by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles which consists of around 34 books.  They are about a fictional family and span War of the Roses to WW1 and she is currently writing another. 

I have just read Antonia Fraser's Six Wives of Henry VIII which I highly recommend if you have just watched the Tudors and would like a more, shall we say, historically correct and thoroughly researched document!

Hello and Welcome, cj1234.

You are enthusiastic to read the entire Moreland Dynasty. Good luck to you. I am not sure if I could handle that.

Antonia Fraser's book is great. David Starkey and Eric Ives are two other great reads, but I would say that about most Tudor books.

Hello and welcome cj1234.

 

I've read the Morland books too. Though my copy of The Restless Sea  got dropped in the bath the other day….

It's always bunnies.

Hello and welcome to the AB Files! Hope you love it as much as we all do here 🙂 Like Claire is known to say, we're a bunch of very friendly Tudor nuts. I too enjoyed Antonia Fraser's Six Wives; have you read Alison Weir's, out of curiosity? I thought Fraser's was superior, but then, ever since Lady in the Tower my respect for Weir as a historian has diminished. Merry Christmas!
