Thank you so much to Pen & Sword and Netgalley for the advanced copy! As always all opinions shared below are 100% my own.
I've only recently started digging into Tudor history so this book had the perfect timing. "Tudor Princes and Princesses" is a well-researched book detailing the lives of each of the children of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York.
Through the chapters, we're introduced to the world those princes and princesses were brought up in, the influences that shaped their personalities and life decisions as well as what their lives led them to later as adults. The authors does a great job presenting all this information in an organized manner while still being very accessible.
I especially appreciated that the author didn't ignore the 'side' characters in the royal children's lives as these people not only shaped them growing up, but often continued to play important parts in their lives. The book also did a good job providing nuanced explanations to some of Henry Tudor's actions especially which helped paint a more complete picture of him.
All in all, this is a perfect read for someone new to Tudor history like me, but also a fun read for history lovers in general. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
