My worst was by Elizabeth Norton

Best: How To Be A Tudor, Ruth Goodman

My best was Watch the Lady

My worst was Anne Boleyn and my best was a tie between Katherine of Aragon, The True Queen, Charles Brandon: The King's Man, and My Lady Jane.

My best was The Tudor Treasury by Elizabeth Norton and my worst was Wolf Hall.

My best was probably a tie between and . I don't k think I had a worst one.

Has anyone read The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir. I just got it on Amazon for $1. Wondering if its any good or credible.

I loved this book! Full of factual info, well-written by a great author. I hope you enjoy it.

I want to amend my vote...I would say I had a tie for worst between Wolf Hall and Three Sisters, Three Queens by Gregory. I just couldn't finish either one.

Just come across this thread. I LOVE Legacy - I must have read it 5-6 times and read it most recently only last year. It is brilliantly written and maintains interest throughout (how often a character becomes King or Queen and you lose interest, because then it is all just politics...?). Susan Kay makes Elizabeth a very real and fascinating character, and makes Cecil and Leicester equally so.
