Changes

Although it is not a lengthy text, a little less than 200 pages, this book is not necessarily a light read. Rather than trawling through the oft-told tales of Bluff King Hal and his six wives, or of the Virgin Queen offering her hand in marriage as a prize for the most eligible suitor while playing hard-to-get, it looks more at the parallel issues and aspects of the time. One might almost argue that the title and sub-title are slightly misleading, and that it would be too easy to assume otherwise. Nevertheless it will prove a valuable text for the reader wishing to study the period, rather than immersing themselves merely in the personalities and events of the age.
