This book was a detailed book about the life of Queen Elizabeth the first.

All of these things where hounding at England as soon as Elizabeth I had inherited the throne. This caused for a lot of stress on Queen Elizabeth I. This novel was about the life of Elizabeth I and the challenges she had faced during her time as Queen of England.

It is a great story to help you learn more about Queen Elizabeth I, and England during the time of her reign. The book starts of by talking about Elizabeth I’s childhood in the first of the five sections, called “Bastard.” She describes how she was declared a bastard at the age of three to the public due to her mother being disgraced and even executed publicly, she had her head cut off because it was the punishment for being accused of treason against King Henry VII, her husband, and Elizabeth I’s father.
