Tudor Biography Recommendations

[viii]

Hey guys, I'm looking for some recommendations for the best Tudor biographies. I have a couple different ones, but I'd really like some books that focus on Tudor life (the food, the palaces, the clothes), and I'd also like some books on the courtiers and who surrounded these people. I know all about Henry and Catherine, or Anne Boleyn, etc, but I'd like to not have so much white room in my novel with faceless people. I'd like to inject as much accuracy as possible, so I don't want to make up original characters. Any recs would be great, thanks!
