Gingerbread Houses and Mulled Wine: A Very Medicinal Tudor Christmas By Kyra Kramer ‘Tis the season to be jolly ... and to stuff ourselves with certain foods that are synonymous with Christmas cheer. There is no real reason why we all don’t chow down on gingerbread, mince pies, and buttered brandy all the year round, but some nibbles are so associated with December’s festivities that it seems somehow wrong to eat them when it isn’t Christmas, or to not eat them during the holidays.

In almost every novel and drama I’ve seen she appears as a negative figure, a driven woman, irrational and single-minded, and even in non-fiction studies of the Wars of the Roses, she is one dimensional.
