The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir

5.0

10/10 Stars. The best book on Queen Elizabeth I that I have read to date. Extremely detailed, well written, and really shows who Elizabeth and the people of her court were. It celebrates her virtues and her successes but also points out her very real and at times, frightening, flaws. This book humanizes Elizabeth and others (Dudley, Cecil, Essex, etc) and gives real insight into Elizabethan England. A must read for anyone interested in Tudor history, especially Elizabethan history.
