A very handy and comprehensive book for anyone studying the Tudor period.
I aimed to use it just to get a rough idea of the chronology of the religious and political developments but it helped me understand the overall period so much better by putting it all in a larger picture that I ended up pouring through the whole thing.
The family trees could be improved as they were quite confusing and would've been made clearer if they were annotated with a little more detail (like a page reference to the person 's corresponding mini bibliography or a few snippets of why they're noteworthy). Also, some information about historiography would really raise this book up a notch, even if it was mentioned as a brief guide somewhere.
