I watched “The White Queen” as well and enjoyed it. PBS will be showing “Wolf Hall” starting April 5th. It’s the fictionalized biography of Thomas Cromwell during the reign of Henry VIII. It’s based on the first two novels of a trilogy by Hilary Mantel. Damien Lewis (Band of Brothers and Homeland tv series) stars as Henry VIII. I have been interested in British history for quite some time. I was fortunate enough to have visited the UK and Ireland. I also read a lot of British medieval mystery series.
BBC America is adapting Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories for TV. Great books, I hope they do them justice.
