about the times of Henry VIII and period up to Elizabeth the First. Historical fiction - Have decided the fiction outweighs the history content - tired of them. Have lined up to listen to "The Life of Elizabeth I" by Alison Weir. I'm fascinated by this period. It has lessons for us today, if people are even aware of history. It makes me so said that it isn't really taught in an interesting way in school.

The hundreds of years of wars endured by the British Isles and Europe over religious intolerance surely influenced the founders of our country when they put SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE into the founding documents.
