You're exactly right and that's the part I was forgetting - that most people are far more familiar with the material than I was. I mean, I did already know some of it, but I think I wanted some things there to look at to 'prove' my knowledge. Well, perhaps there will be some at Hampton Court.

And I did get the audio guide because I'm very fond of David Starkey (although I know some people can't stand him). That certainly filled in a lot of the religious/political stuff I didn't know, but not the personal stuff and that's the part that really fascinates me.

Thanks for cheering me up! *g*
