Presents a comprehensive history of the forty-five-year reign of Queen Elizabeth I, and describes her relationship with her father, Henry VIII; half-sister, Queen Mary; and cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, religious controversy, and more.
Chronicles the personal lives of the four heirs of King Henry VIII, nine-year old Prince Edward; Lady Mary, the adult daughter of Henry's first wife; Lady Elizabeth, the teenaged daughter of Anne Boleyn; and Lady Jane Grey, the English king's great-niece--all of whom eventually took the throne if only for a brief time.
