With the proliferation of books about the Tudors so comes the companion piece, the book to explain the assumptions. Here Lauren Mackay has focused her work alongside Hilary Mantel's superb fictional trilogy, Wolf Hall etc but actually this would work as a stand-alone piece as it is so comprehensive about the known historical characters and their roles. Mantel freely admits that her novel are fiction and that some dramatic licence has been taken. Here Mackay shows where there may be differences to know history.
As a guide to the society around Henry VIII this is succinct and comprehensive
