Henry: Virtuous Prince from HarperPress Price: £12.50 Customer Review: I was really looking forwards to this book, I am an avid reader of anything to do with Tudor history and the wars of the roses and as there is relatively little written on the early years of Henry VIII I was keen to discover more about his personality, his friendships, his marriage, his life and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Six Wives of Henry VIII from Vintage Price: £6.99 Customer Review: Alison Weir has really made history come to life in this fantastic book. The opulent and at times barbaric Tudor age comes vividly to life with the telling of each of Henry VIII's wives' stories. It is all told very movingly and you really feel that you know these women and Henry VIII himself. more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Children of England: The Heirs of King Henry VIII 1547-1558 from Vintage Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This is an excellent book! I've read it dozens of times and it maintains its fascination.

4.		The English Civil War: A People's History from HarperPerennial Price: £6.94 Customer Review: An Australian has written the best book I have read on our civil war. She tells the story using the accounts and histories of people great and small involved in the most devastating conflict our country had ever experienced.

5.		Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII from Vintage Price: £6.49 Customer Review: David Starkey's work on the six wives of Henry VIII is a unique biography on these six women.

6.		Bess of Hardwick: First Lady of Chatsworth from Abacus Price: £7.69 Customer Review: This is the third biography I have read by Mary S Lovell (the first two being the Mitford Sisters, and Jane Digby: A Scandalous Life).

Lovell writes in a very accessible way despite cramming her books with well-researched... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		A Daughter's Love: Thomas and Margaret More from Fourth Estate Ltd Price: £15.00 Customer Review: Having hugely enjoyed the previous, excellent study of Mary Queen of Scots by this author, I was keen to read his next book.

8.		God's Executioner: Oliver Cromwell and the Conquest of Ireland from Faber and Faber Price: £14.99 Customer Review: Dr O'Siochru book is well researched history of Cromwell's military activities in Ireland in the 1640's. A great man in many respects Cromwell's great stain is Ireland. The 'Troubles' which Ireland suffered for the next four hundred years are the result.

9.		The World Turned Upside Down: Radical Ideas During the English Revolution (Penguin history) from Penguin Price: £9.09 Customer Review: Certainly a candidate for it. Hill's monumental work is probably the definitive work of the British Marxist Historians group of scholars who appeared in the immediate after of World War II. It featured such lumanaries as E.P. Thompson and Rodney Hilton and basically invented Social History through... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn: The Most Happy from WileyBlackwell Price: £12.74 Customer Review: I have been looking for a truly historical analysis that neither confinces this complex character to one chapter in a book on the reign of Henry VIII, portrays her as a saucy temptress nor eulogises her in sickeningly romantic tones in the manner of the unprofessional outpourings of Joanna Denney,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
