The Life of the Virgin Queen, from Anne Boleyn's Daughter and the Tower to Mary Queen of Scots, the Spanish Armada and the Last Years of the Tudor CourtBy Imad Muratspahic
Length2h 43m
About this audiobook
She was born a disappointment, declared illegitimate before her third birthday, imprisoned in the Tower at twenty and crowned at twenty-five. Then Elizabeth I ruled England for forty-four years, faced down Spain, outlasted a rival queen and left a name that still fills films, portraits and school trips. Queen Elizabeth I Biography tells her whole life in plain English, in order, from the birth at Greenwich in 1533 to the death at Richmond in March 1603. It is a focused portrait of one woman, not a general history of the Tudors and not a life of her father Henry VIII: every chapter asks what Elizabeth knew, what she chose, and what luck or her advisers decided for her. Where the evidence is thin or the stories are legend, the book says so. This is a short narrative biography for readers who want a clear, balanced and enjoyable account without a thousand pages of footnotes. Inside, you'll discover: Whether you are a student, a traveler to the Tower and Hampton Court, a book club reader or simply curious, this is the Elizabeth story told straight: vivid where the record is rich, honest where it is not.
