The Virgin Queen by Christopher Hibbert
A portrait of Elizabeth I based on a range of contemporary documents and recent scholarship set against the background of her times. She was noted for her beauty, intelligence and wit but she was also vacillating and unpredictable, spiteful, cantankerous and realistic yet vain.Christopher Hibbert was born in 1924 and attended Radley College and Oxford University. The Rise and Fall of the House of Medici, The English: A Social History, and Cavaliers and Roundheads are among his many recognized works. In addition, he has authored 'biographies' of London, Rome, and Venice, as well as biographies of Samuel Johnson, Elizabeth I, and Napoleon and his women.
