Lloyd Preston

This book disappointed; I see it as poorly researched - light on facts, the book spends too much time on clothes/jewellery for example. There is far too much conjecture with the reader being asked to take flights of imagination - one does not expect to see that in a serious work of history. Then there are too many disappointing errors such as "riding to evensong." (p.204) in 1488 decades before evensong even existed in the Anglican liturgy. I gave up at that point. There are far too many such errors - dozens of them - and that increasingly makes the reader query the vercacity of the rest of the text.
