About this book
- Author Heather Darsie can read and speak multiple languages apart from English, including German, French and Spanish, and reads Latin, which give her an insight into the subject beyond the reach of most historians.
- Of interest to all Tudor readers - without the Children of Cleves, the English Reformation might have taken a very different course.Ā Ā
