The King's Commoner: The rise and fall of Cardinal Wolsey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love to read about the Tudor-period, and so I was very happy to get another book into my hands that makes this possible. This time with another person in the spotlight: Thomas Wolcey, cardinal and king Henry VIII's chancellor.

This book is certainly a great read, and Wolsey is such an interesting character! At some points it could have done with a little more flourish between the (historical and political) facts and happenings, but at other times this was amply provided. And I love how David Field clearly put so much time into getting his facts straight!

I received a free copy through Netgalley in return for an honest review.
