Publisher's summary

Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of the ill-fated Queen Anne Boleyn and temperamental King Henry VIII, was never meant to rule the country. Yet, when her time came, she didn’t stumble under the weight of the English crown.

Elizabeth was perhaps the most intelligent, forward-thinking monarch who ever sat on the throne before or since. Her reign is responsible for the strength of the Royal Navy, the cultivation of fine arts, the long-term stability and safety of her nation from foreign attacks, and the first steps toward international colonization.

In Elizabeth I: A Captivating Guide to the Queen of England Who Was the Last of the Five Monarchs of the House of Tudor, you will discover topics such as:

  • The birth of a future queen
  • From princess to lady
  • Elizabeth and the royal stepmothers
  • The teenaged Princess
  • A flurry of successions
  • Queen Elizabeth I
  • Sir Francis Drake and the Elizabethan settlements
  • Mary, Queen of Scots, and war with Spain
  • Arts and culture in Elizabethan England
  • The end of the Tudor Dynasty

And much, much more!

A Captivating Guide to the Queen


All in all, it is a masterful work that I enjoyed immensely. It was a page-turner that I finished rather quickly

Five Stars

Good historical account. Especially interesting were the long accounts of letters and proclamations. Elizabeth the first surely was a singing star o the age.
