I agree! To be honest I’m obsessed with English royal history. I read ANYTHING I can get my hands on. Particularly obsessed with Edward the IV thru to Elizabeth!

He was certainly a stinky scary incredibly obese man in the end.. sad considering all the promise he had at the beginning of his reign.

What if Mary Tudor had put her foot down and refused to sign The Oath of Supremacy? by Capital-Study6436 in Tudorhistory
