A Crown for ElizabethCoward-McCann, 1970 - 573 páginas In this account of royal power and conspiracy, Mary M. Luke accurately portrays the plight of England's most famous heirs to the throne, the three children of Henry the Eighth, while focusing on Elizabeth I especially. Throughout the reigns of her brother and sister, Elizabeth's position was always very precarious, and she came close to execution several times, but escaped, gaining with each close call the shrewdness needed to survive the Tudor monarchy. |
