Henry VIII's Last Victim: The Life and Times of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey

Excellent bio of Surrey, jerk, pioneering poet, and son of one of the ghastlier Dukes of Norfolk, not that that narrows it down.
Really good on sense of place and time and personality, and the fear and paranoia of Henry VIII's court. Excellent writing, lively and engaging, and the parts about Surrey's poetry are fascinating. How historical biography should be done.
