- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.
- Location: California Bay Area
I'm in Rome, after the death of Pope Paul III. Charles V's ambassador has put the city on lockdown, and Cosimo de Medici is vying with the French Cardinals (Henry II) over whether the Florentine or the de Guise Cardinal will be the next Pope.
NF 'Son of the Alhambra: Diego Hurtado de Mendoza'. I'm riveted. The man lived a fascinating, turbulent life. (His time at the court of Henry VIII he lists as the most boring. Possibly because nobody was trying to kill him.)
