What hit me was how she was sooo crazy about a guy and he did not care for her and she died of a broken heart and through all of it she became a zealot to kill people of a different faith. It seemed like a Nessus/Deja relationship and those truly are killer lol

Very sad how she had a bad childhood and she took the pain and let it poison her life.

I am not sure which I am going to start. There is nothing like a great detective book. Ever read Laurence Sanders--pure genius.

Mary, Queen of Scots had a sad life too. Being forced to marry your rapist first cousin who ends up being murdered. I couldn't imagine being forced to my marry my first cousin lol, could you? She hated James. He was abusive to her from what I've read from historians, very cruel to her. To think that she was just a child when she married her first husband is crazy to me. I can't imagine being married at her age and then within a year being a widow. She went through a lot of trauma throughout her life.

The royals lived pretty fast paced lives especially if they were widowed and not too old to remarry. The queens were pawns literally. I couldn't imagine life as one back then.

Mary Tudor was a sad, sad woman. She was filled with so much hate. Perhaps that's why Phillip didn't love her. She wasn't very attractive either lol. She probably drove him mad with her obsession of Elizabeth.

My question is which historical figures in all of them do you find the most fascinating.

Do you like Cromwell? I have a big book on him but have not read it.

I have a new book on Mary Tudor. It is really big so looks packed with everything lol

Cromwell I haven't read too much on. I do know that he was an incredible military strategist.

I bet that Mary Tudor book is very interesting. She was something else.

On your recommendation, I will branch out to Marie Antionette.

Yea, that Mary Tudor book looks good. I am at the beginning of Mary Queen of Scotts. She is about 6 years old and goes to France to live to be married to the heir of the French throne.

I never read about her before.

What do you think of lady Jane Grey?

Katherine's parents created the Inquisition. Mary was their grandaughter so maybe it wasn't a broken heart that made her so "Bloody"?

I've heard of Jane Grey but never read to much about her. What's her story?

---

She is amazing, Barbie. She was so strong for God. She had really abusive parents but she became very strong and dignified.

She was queen for nine days before Mary. There was a plot hatched to make her queen which she did not want. It was a mess. They married her to a guy she did not want.

Mary told her she could avoid death if she would recant her faith in God but she would not and she got beheaded at the age of 17.

that's awful. I've heard of her before but never read too deeply into her.

Mary had some serious issues. I don't even like reading about her because I can't take the bitterness.

Mary is an example of not letting your bitterness destroy you
