Why Isabelle d’Angoulême is hard to love: Guest Post by Sharon Bennett Connolly
I’m delighted to welcome Sharon Bennett Connolly back to my blog! I’ve known Sharon since her blogging days, and was delighted when she began to publish her biographies of historical women, including her brand-new one, Ladies of Magna Carta. Today’s woman, Isabelle of Angoulême, is one who’s long intrigued me. Over to Sharon!
At first sight, it is easy to have sympathy for Isabelle of
Angoulême. Whe

Paperback Crush: The Totally Radical History of '80s and '90s Teen Fiction
by Gabrielle Moss (Goodreads Author) |
|
| Although I was well past my teens when most of the books Moss discusses were published, I enjoyed this look at the popular teen reads of the 1980s and 1990s, many of which I shelved as a volunteer at my daughter's school library. I was left, however, ...more | |

Thanks so much for accepting friendship! and On such a day I cannot not ask you - haven't you thought of writing a book on Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York story? Maybe a short story - an episode from their lives? I think you can do them justice because their love story has been very poorly portrayed in fiction (maybe even screwed up by some…). I feel they deserve so much more respect!

In 1482 he's living with Anne..."It was claimed at George's trial that George planned to send his son away, but I don't know of any evidence that he did. Edward became a ward of the crown after his father's death. Around 1480 (I'm not where I can check the date), he became the ward of the Marquis of Dorset and remained in his care until Richard seized power.
A question! I'm reading Philippa Gregory's latest, covering the last few Plantagenets. In 1478 Edward, son of George, Duke of Clarence, is sent to Flanders for safety. In 1482 he's living with Anne & Richard (soon III) and only 7. Somehow this doesn't feel consistent internally & with history I've read. Do you know anything about this?
Sarah, thanks! Sorry, I didn't see your comment earlier.
Just bought two of your books The Stolen Crown, and the Queen of Last Hope. Cant wait to read them I hear they are very good!!

Thanks for "connecting." Your quotes give me a snippet of your writing which is immediately interesting. I'll be reading at least one of your books and giving one to a friend just returning from England.
Hi Susan and thanks so much for the friendship!Blessings,
