Mary Tudor England’s First Queen Regnant by Gregory Slysz Book Review

Monday, 7 September 2015, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 0
Much has already been said on Mary I, the first Queen regnant of England, starting with her unfortunate nickname ‘Bloody Mary’ which really needs to be retired. I recently received this book from Gracewing Publications. I really like that Mary’s motto is part of the title! The book naturally covers Mary’s life from her early [read more]

Princess Charlotte of Wales’ wedding dress

Saturday, 5 September 2015, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 7
Princess Charlotte of Wales’ story is a tragic one. She was born on 7 January 1796 from a disastrous marriage that deteriorated even more after she was born. She was the daughter of the future George IV and Caroline of Brunswick. Despite this unfortunate start in life she was raised to be the future Queen [read more]

The pretend Duchess of York – Lady Catherine Gordon

Wednesday, 2 September 2015, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 1
During Henry VII of England’s reign, there were quite a few pretenders. With the mysterious disappearance of the Princes in the Tower, many pretended to be either Edward V or his brother Richard, Duke of York. One of the most famous pretenders is Perkin Warbeck, who pretended to be Richard, Duke of York. This Perkin Warbeck [read more]

Berengaria of Navarre – The only English Queen never to set foot on English soil

Monday, 27 July 2015, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 0
Berengaria of Navarre was born between 1165 and 1170 as the eldest daughter of Sancho VI of Navarre and Sancha of Castile. She was probably named after her maternal grandmother Berengaria of Barcelona. Berengaria suffers the same fate as many medieval women; we simply have little information about her. Eleanor of Aquitaine wished for the [read more]

25 Royal Babies that Changed the World by Amy Licence Book Review

Friday, 19 June 2015, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 0
I received this book from Amberley Publishing on the occasion of Princess Charlotte’s birth, and it seems quite fitting! Though of course, we don’t know if Princess Charlotte will change the world, she certainly has the platform to do so. The 25 Royal babies in the book are; 1 Empress Matilda, 1102 2 William IX, [read more]

Finding a King and maybe a Princess at Reading Abbey

Sunday, 24 May 2015, 13:00 Moniek Bloks 0
Richard III’s discovery and burial have prompted the search for another King. King Henry I was the son of William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders. He had two legitimate children, William Adelin, who drowned in the White Ship disaster and Matilda, whose son Henry would eventually follow Henry’s nephew Stephen on the throne. Henry [read more]
