My mom had a book on Henry and his wives, and I memorized it as a kid, pretty much. I not only knew all the names of the six, I also knew about Margaret Pole and Thomas Cranmer! (There were lots of pictures of portraits in this book.) I stole it when I went to college. It is now on my shelf of Ye Olde British History.

I think one of my main fascinations with the Tudors stems from the fact that I grew up in the Episcopal faith, which is basically the Church of England transplanted to America. Elizabeth was the person who basically molded that church into being.

Plus they were all pretty Slytherins. How could I not love them?

I think I will get this book. :)
