He speaks with authority, so it‘s reasonable to say he‘s trustworthy. WHAT?! That is not how it works. He was a man of caution, so we can trust him. REALLY? We could describe Henry VI was “cautious” but I wouldn‘t trust him with my pet rock. Does this woman know how logic works? She was a history teacher? I‘m terrified of what she taught her students.

Sophronisba I am almost a year late to this party -- and I think I actually liked The Princes in the Tower more than you did -- but this kind of logic is legion in Weir's books. In Mistress of the Monarchy her entire argument that John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford didn't commit adultery when her husband was alive is that John of Gaunt _told_ the Pope that they didn't, and he wouldn't have lied to the Pope. 3y
GingerAntics @Sophronisba 🤣😂🤣 wow really? Britney Spears told the pope she was a virgin, and I didn‘t believe that either. I‘ve heard this about her work, that she doesn‘t use the best sources or logic. I think I removed any more of her books from my TBR after I finished this one. She‘s not really helping the case of female historians. It drives me nuts. She‘s literally costing other women jobs. 3y
