If I could only read one of the books listed above, that would be a difficult choice because I want to read them all! I suppose I would pick Isabella of Castile because Giles Tremlett also wrote a very good biography of Isabella's daughter Catherine of Aragon. (Read my review here.) But I've also read good books by Margaret George and Lucy Worsley! Which book would you choose?
