Deborah (162 KP) rated England's Queens: From Boudica to Elizabeth of York in Books

Interesting overview from the early and mythical queens right up to Elizabeth of York.

Overall I enjoyed it, but the later chapters I found disappointing. Probably because my own historical knowledge is stronger there, but I thought the later chapters were a rehash of something from books a few years out of date and a few things were plain wrong (e.g. Elizabeth Woodville did not have a big funeral).
