Interesting perspective of King Henry’s reign. Have already read so much about this horrifying king, so I already knew what to expect. But to read from the perspective of a woman who knew him as a child, cared for him throughout his youth, on whose lap he cried during his grief, that was different. And the cruel end to which he condemned her was the harshest blow ever. Glad we live in better times.
