Fair amount of interesting stuff except multiple mistakes, I don’t think any Tudor courtiers were doing anything in 1835…

This book is useless. If the author can state on one page that Cromwell was executed at Tyburn and on another page Tower Green then how can you have faith in the contents..especially as there is a disclaimer art the end saying that they are not liable for errors.
