Because it's season 3 of The Tudors, and because the big Henry VIII exhibition is coming to the British Library, I give you The All Color Book of Henry VIII by Walder, John, as well as some books about the world leading up to the one Henry inherited and the world he left: Christine Pizan's The Book of the City of Ladies (or A Medieval Woman's Mirror of Honor: The Treasury of the City of Ladies), and A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century by Barbara Tuchman. Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Biography [Paperback] by Marion Meade; Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles by Margaret George. London by Edward Rutherford; and SARUM THE NOVEL OF ENGLAND by Edward Rutherford as well.
