Lewis Carroll Reference - David Starkey 'Henry VIII - Peronalities and Politics'

I'm reading the David Starkey book at the moment and saw him speak on the weekend about Henry VIII as 'the first Brexiteer'. I got a signed copy of one of his early books and it is great. I love intelligent, gossipy and analytical writing. There is a Lewis Carroll reference early on one page 7.

"Henry could not simply say, like the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, 'off with his head'. Instead, the accused had to be condemned by due process of law. Trials, of course, were rigged. But rigging took much effort and could go embarrassingly wrong."

A great view of History.
