About this listen

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!

nice book

There is so much more to the story of these kings and queens than beheadings, political marriages and the reformation of the church – but those events remain some of the family’s most enthralling moments.

wow

I found the book very interesting reading revealing a private person of great appeal, someone I could really like. But, as is often asked: Why can't she smile more in public?

Excellent narration as well

If you look at the reviews for this book, half of them are for a book about Elizabeth I and half of them are reviews of a book about Elizabeth II written by a wholly different author. Please fix this Amazon!
