A wonderful book that teaches us just how the courts worked. Do not read if you want to retain a romantic view of kings and queens. Their lives were hard and no privacy whatsoever. I thought office gossips were bad but they are nothing compared to people in those days. It seeems everyone knew everyone elses business. Not the life for me (and the bathroom situations lwft a whole lot to be desired.) But for information on life in those times this book is amazing. I recommend reading it.
