Title: Non fiction is better
Review: I purchased this book because I play the role of Queen Margaret of Scotland for a Renaissance Faire, and I'm always on the lookout for more information about this character. The writing is plodding, the attitudes exemplified are very modern and not historically accurate, and many of the incidents related aren't really accurate according to extant letters from the time.A much better read is ""The Sisters of Henry VIII" by Margaret Perry. It doesn't have 'conversations' between people and what they were thinking,like a novel, but it is far better written, easy to read, and uses scholarly references (that don't interrupt the narrative)
