Book Review of To Hold the Crown : The Story of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York

To Hold the Crown : The Story of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York
reviewed on


The blurb on the back suggests that this book is a romance, it is not. It is about the reign of Henry VII and difficulties he faced. It also is a portrait of the young Henry VIII. It also suggests that Henry VII did not enjoy sex and only did it in order to gain heirs.
