  6. The medieval era. My favorite is between William the Conqueror and the Plantagenets. Some mighty strong women in that era also.

  8. I love the Tudor era and Ancient Rome & Egypt. Always loved Ancient Egypt in school, and the craziness of the Tudor period is better than any soap opera on tv. I do love a good Regency era military story too.

  10. My favorite era used to be the Tudors, but it is now the Plantagenet era, and the Wars of the Roses history. I love learning all the different stories coming from all the different factions, there were many different noble houses and their POVs are very intriguing.
    Thanks for the giveaway!
