What a great interview! I love her comment that Anne can be “all things to all people.” I’m a fan of Alison Weir, she’s a great historian of course, and that makes her historical fiction something really special. Her Innocent Traitor, about doomed Lady Jane Grey, is one of my favourite works of historical fiction. Looking forward to more interviews!

That part with Elizabeth of York was one of my favorites too! I also really liked the sense of humor her second and third husbands had.
I agree Daphne! I think the sense of humour was a much needed reprieve from Margaret’s intensity and self-righteousness!
I think it was very clever of Phillipa Gregory to not reveal on what side Lord Stanley was on until the dying seconds. It really made the battle exciting for me.
