A good biography of an interesting woman. I think the author is making a bit of a special case, though -- even if the nickname Mad Madge is much later, she seems like a bit of a loony to me.

I didn't know much about these two people before reading this book, only that Charles lost his head and Henrietta lived in France. This book seeks to humanize them, and it hopes to dispel certain myths and legends surrounding the couple.

Enjoyable historical reading.… (más)
