If You Like Jean Plaidy Books, You’ll Love…
To Hold the Crown: The Story of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York is the first book in the Tudors Saga that Plaidy published. This book takes readers inside the making of the great Tudor empire as Henry Tudor’s ascent to the throne and his marriage to Elizabeth of York, daughter and direct heir of King Edward IV, and all of their drama in their lives including the death of their son Arthur and, later, the crowning of their younger son, King Henry VIII.
Louis the Well-Beloved is the first book in Plaidy’s French Revolution series. The book follows a young King Louis XV as the country hopes for him to come of age and bring back glory and prosperity to the country. He’s young though and too preoccupied with the thrills of hunting and gambling to notice the power struggle going on in his own court. He then finds many distractions in the form of mistresses and lovers.
Thank you for reminding me of Jean Plaidy. I had read many of her books under a few of her pen names years ago. Her books are always well researched and I enjoyed them very much.
