My impression has always been that Katherine, ahem, educated herself with the music teacher and Francis Dereham without needing any help from the top brass of the family. If I remember rightly she considered herself Dereham's wife, which would make perfect sense to me - she was an insignificant member of the Howard family so she wouldn't have expected a great match and she might well have rather naively gone through some sort of secret marriage with a handsome lad she'd fallen in love with and hoped to get away with it. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/241111-window-glass http://photo.goodreads.com/groups/1246640330p2/21077.jpg 2094403 Carla Nayland http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1249568016p2/2094403.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2094403-carla-nayland Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:14:25 -0800 Misfit wrote: ""Agreed, I mean if they'd just come out and fess up they made it all up to titillate the audience.

Yes, I haven't read the Carolly Ericson Mary Queen of Scots (nor am I likely to, given the comments!), but from your review and others it seems she makes Iggulden's inaccuracies in the Emperor series look tame. I can never see the point of historical fiction if it doesn't even try to be historical. ]]>
