I got hooked on the Tudors after watching the Tudors on TV, and started reading Philippa Gregory's books, starting with the Other Bolyn Girl. I wanted to know more about Queen Elizabeth I, and and always wanted to know whether she was really a virgin or was really Dudly's lover. The mystery the death of Dudly's wife makes it all the more interesting. There's no way to prove what really happened, but it makes a great book!
