What Life Was Like In the Realm of Elizabeth tells the fascinating story of Queen Elizabeth's steely determination and skillful political manoeuvring along with many other compelling tales of the men and women of Elizabethan England. One volume in a world-history series from Time-Life Books, In the Realm of Elizabeth focuses on the daily lives of the Elizabethans in London and in the English countryside, on board ship with Sir Francis Drake, and alongside Sir Walter Raleigh's colonists in Virginia. From contemporary letters, diaries, church and government documents, and other historical sources come the intriguing stories of commoners and kings: among them Elizabeth's feisty father, the much married Henry VIII, the fiery playwright Ben Jonson; Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth's cousin and rival for her throne, and the so-called counterfeit crank, Nicholas Jennings, who made a nice living pretending to be destitute.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An intimate, captivating portrait of Queen Elizabeth I that brings the enigmatic ruler to vivid life, from acclaimed biographer Alison Weir “An extraordinary piece of historical scholarship.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer Perhaps the most influential sovereign England has ever known, Queen Elizabeth I remained an extremely private person throughout her reign, keeping her own counsel and sharing secrets with no one—not even her closest, most trusted advisers. Now, in this brilliantly researched, fascinating chronicle, Alison Weir shares provocative new interpretations and fresh insights on this enigmatic figure. Against a lavish backdrop of pageantry and passion, intrigue and war, Weir dispels the myths surrounding Elizabeth I and examines the contradictions of her character. Elizabeth I loved the Earl of Leicester, but did she conspire to murder his wife? She called herself the Virgin Queen, but how chaste was she through dozens of liaisons? She never married—was her choice to remain single tied to the chilling fate of her mother, Anne Boleyn? An enthralling epic, The Life of Elizabeth I is a mesmerizing, stunning chronicle of a trailblazing monarch.

In this unforgettable fictional memoir, Elizabeth recounts the emotional turmoil of her life: the loneliness of power; the heartbreak of her lifelong love affair with Robert Dudley; and the terrible guilt of ordering the execution of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots.
