Alison Weir is my favorite historical writer. She researches the topics so thoroughly that I feel like I have access to the facts on the topic.
In this book, the author is exploring Lady Margaret Douglas' life. Lady Margaret Douglas was of Tudor blood, yet few seem to know who she was. In her life she saw her parents divorce, was a lady-in-waiting for four of Henry VIII's wives and had a hand in arranging the marriage of her son, Lord Darnley to Mary, Queen of Scots. Through her intervention she was able to make sure a Stuart came to the throne through James VI, her grandson.
This fascinating retelling of the events of her life makes me wonder why she is not more well known. Alison Weir does a fantastic job in retelling the events in this woman's life. For those who enjoy reading history from the Tudor times, or those who enjoy history, I most highly recommend this book.
