About the Author: Rosalind Miles, Ph.
From the days of her brutal father, Henry VIII, to her final dying moments, Elizabeth tells her story in her own words.
By turns imperious, brilliant, calculating, vain, and witty, this is the Elizabeth the world never knew.
Now in this spellbinding novel, Rosalind Miles brings to life the woman behind the myth.
Politics and scandal forced the passionate queen to reject her true love, Robert Dudley, and to execute his stepson, her much-adored Lord Essex.
But for Elizabeth the woman, tragedy went hand in hand with triumph.
What\'s more, her favorites--William Shakespeare, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh--had made the Elizabethan era a cultural Golden Age still remembered today.
When she died in 1603, after a forty-five year reign, her empire spanned two continents and was united under one church, victorious in war, and blessed with an overflowing treasury.
Publicly declared a bastard at the age of three, daughter of a disgraced and executed mother, last in the line of succession to the throne of England, Elizabeth I inherited an England ravaged by bloody religious conflict, at war with Spain and France, and badly in debt.
