"Elizabeth I was born into a world of women.As a child, she was served by a predominantly female household of servants and governesses, with occasional visits from her mother, Anne Bolyen, and the wives who later took her place.As Queen, Elizabeth was constantly attended by ladies of the bedchamber and maids of honour who clothed her, bathed her and watched her while she ate.Among her family, it was her female relations who had the greatest influence- from her sister Mary, who distrusted and later imprisoned her, to her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, who posed a constant and dangerous threat to her crown for almost thirty years. espite the importance of women in Elizabeth s life, most historians and biographers have focused on her relationships with men.She has been portrayed as a man s woman who loved to flirt with the many ambitious young men who frequented her court.Yet it is the women in her life who provide the most fascinating insight into the character of this remarkable monarch.With them she was jealous, spiteful and cruel, as well as loyal, kind and protective.She showed her frailties and her insecurities, but also her considerable shrewdness and strength.In short, she w

“An original, masterly, and fascinating study [that] offers brilliant new insights into the shaping of the Virgin Queen.”—Alison Weir, New York Times bestselling author of the Six Tudor Queens series In vivid detail, historian Tracy Borman presents Elizabeth I from a thrilling new angle, focusing on the Virgin Queen not through her relationship with men, but as the product of women—the mother she lost so tragically, the female subjects who worshipped her, and the peers and intimates who loved, raised, challenged, and sometimes opposed her. Borman introduces Elizabeth’s bewitching mother, Anne Boleyn, eager to nurture her new child, only to see her taken away and her own life destroyed by damning allegations—which taught Elizabeth never to mix politics and love. Kat Astley, the governess who attended and taught Elizabeth for almost thirty years, invited disaster by encouraging her charge into a dangerous liaison after Henry VIII’s death. Mary Tudor—“Bloody Mary”—envied her younger sister’s popularity and threatened to destroy her altogether. And animosity drove Elizabeth and her cousin Mary Queen of Scots into an intense thirty-year rivalry that could end only in death. Elizabeth’s Women is an unprecedented account of how the public posture of femininity figured into the English court, the meaning of costume and display, the power of fecundity and flirtation, and how Elizabeth herself—long viewed as the embodiment of feminism—shared popular views of female inferiority and scorned and schemed against her underlings’ marriages and pregnancies. Brilliantly researched and elegantly written, Elizabeth’s Women is a unique take on history’s most captivating queen and the dazzling court that surrounded her.

The Elizabethan golden age was peopled by a court of flamboyant and devoted men - each one unique, ambitious and talented. At its centre was a woman, Elizabeth, the Tudor princess who succeeded to the throne of England in 1558 and who vowed to her Parliament to remain unwed and a Virgin Queen for the rest of her life. How did such a diverse group of red-blooded men view their Gloriana? What were their aims and intentions? What were their dreams? And just how did Elizabeth manage to control and manipulate them? A unique blend of fact and fiction brings the Elizabethan court and its inhabitants to life in an evocative series of biographical sketches that will inform and entertain in equal measure.

Fiery, wilful and impassioned; Queen Elizabeth I was one of England's most powerful queens. With her father's strength and her mother's charisma she proved to be an exceptional stateswoman, and knew how to play the game of diplomacy. In her long reign, she would artfully play countries off against each other, manipulating their leaders and outsmarting them all. She was wise; she was cautious and she was beautiful. She followed a careful foreign policy of flirtation, using her feminine wiles to negotiate marriage treaties, and not following through, all the while maintaining and prolonging their interest in an alliance with England.Elizabeth was essentially a peacemaker, and strove to provide stability and prosperity to England by doing her very best to avoid wars. With her favourite men around her, she was able to defend England from a formidable Spanish invasion; and with her vast network of spies would foil numerous assassination attempts and treacherous plots against the crown. This book will chronicle her life from her very difficult childhood, where she was the bastard daughter of a condemned adulteress, to a spell in the Tower, before her unexpected rise to power as queen. It will then relate the ups and downs of her life as queen: including marriage proposals and her beloved Robert Dudley; plots and conspiracies; foreign and religious policies; her relationship with Mary Queen of Scots; her relationship with her arrogant favourite Essex; her victory over the Spanish and her loneliness and melancholy in her later life.This book endeavours to portray Elizabeth as a courageous heroine of her times - a strong, and very smart woman who overcame many heart-breaking struggles throughout her life. She could have settled for love and happiness, but sacrificed this for her service and loyalty to her country and people, often making the most difficult decisions. She was a woman in a man's world, and in order to survive as the queen she had to show outwardly a very strong and commanding personality. Though she may be considered cold-hearted and detached at times, under that hard exterior was essentially a compassionate woman who mourned the loss of her closest friends, and deeply regretted putting those who opposed her to their deaths.

The court of the Queen Elizabeth is a hot-bed of intrigue and ambition... It is a place where reputations can stand or fall on the merest hint of scandal. Lingering rumours even surround the Virgin Queen herself, despite the fate of those foolish enough to besmirch her reputation. Recently arrived in court, Nell de Lacey is surprised to discover that many think she bears more than a passing resemblance to the younger queen. That, coupled with an old mystery about a missing portion of the Queen's past some years prior, is enough to set tongues wagging. And wherever the truth lies, even the rumour is sufficient to place Nell on a dangerous path that could all so easily end with her head on a block...
