Trying to hold on to power they would desecrate this poor boy's body, not to mention the arsenic used to try to prolong his life while he suffered much more from the poisoning. These were some crazy and scary times. The way I'm actually disgusted and in shock. King Edward's body might actually be buried somewhere in Greenwich Park and not resting with his family is actually a very vile thing to do...

I'm actually in shock. This states that Northumberland buried King Edward VI's body in Greenwich Park and put another boy in his place and had him murdered afterwards and questions if that is the body in the altar tomb in the Henry VII Chapel, an imposter, while the actual remains of the true Edward are buried there somewhere!! I did not know this, this is actually vile! There's evidence too, a letter from N's son!

I really love Weir's writing! Even in nonfiction she excels, I haven't been able to put it down! I'm really enjoying this book.

Borrowed this one from my local library and so happy to begin reading 🥰
