Loving all the amazing books featured on #HistoryWritersDay24 😍
My own are mainly on the women known to Elizabeth Woodville including her sisters and her daughters (The York Princesses) and are available from @ChronosBooks and @penswordbooks.
A little intro for anyone following #HistoryWritersDay24
My first book, Educating the Tudors was published Jan 2023. My second, Women's Lives in the Tudor Era, published Feb this year. My next is Mary Tudor, Queen of France, due in Feb 2025. Now working on Desiderius Erasmus.
For #HistoryWritersDay24 (and #StuartSaturday!), my recently-released biography of one of the most infamous mistresses of the #17thCentury and British history itself...#Ravenous, is about Barbara Villiers, the people in her life, the world in which she lived, and the impact she had. https://t.co/lfx1h5GhLX

‘The weddynge was prevely in a secrete place, the fyrst day of Maye’
In 1464 Elizabeth Woodville reportedly married Edward IV in a secret ceremony. And so began to unfold the path to the Princes in the Tower, Richard III and the Tudor dynasty.
Happy May Day 🌻
So sad to learn of the death of the brilliant C. J. Sansom. It doesn’t seem possible that it was twenty-one years ago that his brilliant lawyer-detective Matthew Shardlake swept into my life. I’ve spent immeasurable blissful hours lost in his works. Rest in power, Chris.
