As a Tudor fan, you've obviously got an interest in British Royalty. There have been so many interesting rulers of England, all the way from Ancient Britain with Aethelbert, Offa and Aethelred, through such greats as Richard the Lionheart and William the Conqueror. Then of course there are our beloved Tudor Monarchs in the 16th Century, and leading all the way through to the current monarch, Elizabeth II.
The stunning book "Illustrated Kings and Queens of England" by Claire Ridgway, has vintage illustrations of each of the kings and queens, lovingly restored and coloured. Each monarch also has a short biography. A simply fascinating book.

This battle was part of the final war of the French Wars of Religion, a series of conflicts in France from 1562-1598 between Catholics and Huguenots. It was fought between the new French king, Henry IV, and the Catholic League led by Charles of Lorraine, Duke of Mayenne, and looked bad for Henry until troops sent by Elizabeth I arrived – phew!
