My current non fiction history read; Eleanor of Acquitaine by Alison Weir. I'm just under half way through at the moment and am enjoying Alison's straightforward and conversational writing style. Eleanor of Aquitaine is a fascinating historical personality.

A picture of the beautiful Blue Mountains for Australia Day. Australia has a very long history that stretches back far beyond the First Fleet landing in 1788 and much of this history is connected to the land and its landscapes.

This is Rouse Hill House. It can be found in the outer suburbs of Sydney with an excellent view of the Blue Mountains. It is also the subject of one of my favourite blog posts to write during 2020. This historic house is a bit of a hidden gem. The link is in my bio if you're intrigued to know more!

I finished this book just before Christmas. It was really easy to read and very enjoyable.
I felt that the sway of this book was quite pro Richard, so I would be interested in reading one that isn't for a more balanced outlook. But based on the extensive historical evidence presented in the book, I am persuaded that Richard wasn't a Machiavellian king. There is too much apparent evidence which suggests that Shakespeare's rendering of Richard is inaccurate and extreme. I was also impressed by Richard's commitment to justice during his lifetime.
This was a well written book about an intriguing history mystery and an exciting archaeological discovery.
