(New discoveries since have dated some parts). It's clearly very well researched for the 80s. The characters are well done (Anne Boleyn is super shallow and neurotic but then this is from Henry's POV so it makes sense he'd put the worst possible spin on her). I particularly like how present religion is in every facet of life. The biggest problems with it are all very minor but jarring ones (almost because they are so minor, if that makes sense).Īll the main historical beats are there, and the culture of the time is very accurately presented over all. This is a subreddit for discussion of all people who lived in the Tudor period and the historical ideas surrounding them. Seriously, this is a history subreddit, why are you even contemplating putting that here.Ħ) No blogspam or blatant self-promotion (e.g "look at this book I just wrote").ħ) This is NOT a subreddit just about the monarchy. If you have a brain, you'll know the difference.ĥ) No submitting gore, porn etc. It is NOT OK to say "women are inferior". It is OK to say "in Henry VIIIs time, women were thought of as inferior". BUT, comments which just attack other users and add nothing to discussion will result in you having one warning, and then being banned.Ĥ) Sexism, racism, homophobia, anti-trans and other hate speech comments/submissions will result in a ban. Some explanation of events or brief description of people is advised.However, please don't be patronising.ģ) Robust, healthy discussion is encouraged. Submissions about the Wars of the Roses are subject to the discretion of the mods.Ģ) Please do not assume everyone has a university level history education. Submissions about other historical time periods will be removed. 1) Only submissions directly relevant to the Tudor period will be allowed.
