Characters of the Reformation
By: Hillaire Belloc
Characters of the Reformation. This may well be Belloc s most interesting work. It includes Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, St. Thomas More, Cranmer, Calvin, Mary Tudor ( Bloody Mary ), Mary Stuart ( Queen of Scots ), Cardinal Richelieu and many others--23 in all--analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, motives and mistakes and showing how this or that seemingly insignificant factor actually changed the course of history. An amazing book!
