I finished The Wars of the Roses Monday Night, and was pondering what to look at next on my journey through the 16th & 17th centuries. I was debating whether to skip over the Elizabethan era, straight towards the end of the Stuarts, possibly picking with Pepys.
But then I listened to a brief YouTube offering on the Elizabethan period, and it seems there was a lot of drama during her rain (if anybody who knows their history is reading this, they are probably cringing at my woeful ignorance and the description of “quite a lot of drama”) sorry about that.
Frustratingly, Dan Jones, the author of the Plantagenets book and the Wars of the Roses books that I have just read doesn’t have a book covering the Elizabethan Era, so I have to look elsewhere, so have gone for Anna Whitelock and her Elizabeth’s Bedfellows. Given that Elizabeth was known as the virgin queen, that should be interesting.
