Queen Elizabeth I by Susan Doran
Queen Elizabeth I reigned from 1558 to 1603 and is remembered not only as a powerful, often ruthless and successful monarch, but also as a virtuous, gracious and caring ruler. This biography reveals a tough and determined "Virgin Queen", whose education, wit and wisdom enabled her to succeed in the often turbulent world of her reign. Charting Elizabeth's childhood, education and family life as well as her relationships with her ministers and suitors, the author discusses her motivation and the personal qualities that sustained her as queen. In an era of political and religious upheaval, Elizabeth I emerges as one of the most skilful and formidable monarchs in history. Illustrated throughout with portraits, rare historical documents and letters in Elizabeth's own hand, this study provides an engaging and authoritative account of Queen Elizabeth I's life and times.| SKU | Unavailable |
