Oh, my goodness, I love absolutely everything about this. How you weaved together history and Shakespeare and the Mirror for Magistrates, and it makes me so very, very happy. This bit was particularly classic:
(with the notable exception of pretty Jane Shore, she remembered, and she also remembered other things about Jane Shore which she would one day tell to her final confessor, but not yet, not yet)
We know everyone and their mother wants to sleep with Jane Shore. ;)
I also love that you actually gave Edward and Elizabeth a relationship, even though she acknowledges that Richard is her equal (and he really is). Thank you so much for this.
