Luke’s Reviews > She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth > Status Update

A word of advice to haters of women: if there's even the slightest chance you'll be forced to publically make an exception to your rule, make sure she's not in the position to put a price on your head.

She was not bound, they said, by any of England's laws since the Conquest—and could therefore choose to sweep away the entire apparatus of the Reformation at will—because all previous statutes had been made in the name of England's king, while its queen was nowhere mentioned.

When Warwick knelt before her to pledge his renewed allegiance, Margaret's revulsion was such that she kept him on his knees for more than fifteen minutes.

I have to wonder when was the last time a member of the English government made decisions out of fear of necromancy.

Why did no one ever tell me about Edward II and his shenanigans before. He makes Henry VIII look as exciting as Antiques Road Show.

I didn't always get really excited looking at the family trees of long ago royalty. I blame Game of Thrones.

Reading nearly 100 pages of a history book in one go is always a good sign.
