I'll take a look at it. I usually prefer books, as so many video presentations either simplify or omit facts. Of course, some historical books do the same. For example, one pop history book tried to make the argument that Richard III did not kill the princes in The Tower of London and Henry VII did. Man, the writer had to twist and turn to do that one.

Of course, nobody knows who killed the princes or if they were even killed. They simply disappeared. But it's pretty hard to get around the fact that Richard had himself crowned as King without first deposing his nephew, the real king. And nobody asked, "so, what do we call young Edward now?" <G>
