I've been reading about Nest, Rhys ap Tewdwr's daughter. :)
I learnt some English history in school, but a lot was self-taught at first. The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Elizabeth R were on TV when I was young, and I watched them with my brother, whose BA in history had a focus on British history. And I read. A lot. So I could actually converse with him a little about it. I've been a big fan of British history for a long time.
But then I took English history courses as an undergrad as well, which were fun. First a year-long survey, then a one-semester class just on the Tudors.
