Book Lovers

As part of my role at La Cour Royale de France, I have done a tremendous amount of research these past few years, however surprisingly I haven't read that many biographical books (though I am desperate for a one of my own character, Victoire de Rohan, which I believe would be a very interesting read lol). So far I have read three books, which have all been related to either Marie Antoinette or the REvolution.

The 'must' read, of course is the fabulous biography by Antonia Fraser - which I have not managed to finish yet

The second being the Scarlet Pimpernel, which I bought after buying and watching the film, which I found fabulous - I haven't finished this one either

Another of my reads is this fabulous interpretation of the life of Marie Antoinette, which to my surprise, was in fact much more interesting and accurate then I had first imagined. Although heavily fictionalised, with many odd twists, it is generally faithful. My favourite section would be the ending chapters which describe in detail the flight to Varennes, the return to Paris and the ultimate imprisonment and execution. (Surprisingly this is the only book on the subject I've actually managed to finish lol)

Although, I have seen the film, which is probably my favourite historical drama, I am desperate to read the actual novel - I did come across some in Paris, but naturally they were in french :P

And the book I am reading at this very moment (which I definitely plan to finish before returning to the others) is Queen of Fashion, which provides a fabulous insight into the life of Marie Antoinette, revolving on her infamous wardrobe. A definite must for the fashion lovers of the Royal Courts :P

England: Tudor, York, Lancaster

It's true, and although I do adore Anne Boleyn, I felt, after reading this book, that Catherine was definitely a much more eligible consort, due to her birth and such. But Anne was definitely the more interesting person, and if she had not been Queen, we would not have had Elizabeth I, which is unthinkable lol

Aswell as having read both The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance, I've also read The Constant Princess, which is also by Philippa Gregory

It talks about the life of Catherine of Aragon, from her early years as a Spanish Infanta, her marriage to the Prince of Wales and conflict with Margaret Beaufort, and then onto her early reign as Queen Consort. The last chapters of the book focus on her side of story of Anne Boleyn usurping her position, and her eventual divorce.
