      Very informative

      Several reviews have already stated that this book is a bit dry. I get the feeling that this is intentional. This is not a book about the drama and intrigue of Henry's court. It is a painstaking, hour by hour account of a purely typical day. The differences from castle to castle are touched upon as are the differences between the Queens but all is averaged out to show as typical a non-feast day as possible. If read as a page from a daily journal of household management, then this is sure to please.
    • 2/5
      Not aimed at anyone who knows the least amount of "real" history of the Middle Ages. It contains lots of classic errors, and just enough good information that it might be considered dangerous.
