Book Synopsis
''There is nothing new under the sun'', a phrase ascribed originally to King Solomon, applies to the present book, with echoes of ''modern'' themes exposing royal scandal, sex, corruption, political absolutism - attempted - religious controversy, danger of mass-terrorism, murder and ''suspicious'' deaths, ''fake news'' and international threat from superpowers. And all focussing on inside stories which today would be ''investigative journalism'' with huge popular media interest. This is history for both specialists and, especially, for general readers, given media interest, including TV and film coverage in ''exciting'' popular history, as set out by the author. The earlier ''Royal Mysteries'' in the series were full of tragedy, suffering, pathos, heroism and romance, but the present set are equally interesting and disturbing and revisionist. These include the alleged attempt to murder James I and VI before the became King of England; the scandal at court involving ''poisoned tarts'',
