Summary

February, 1603. In Richmond Palace, London, the last Queen of the Tudor dynasty, Elizabeth I, is dying. As Death hovers at her elbow, waiting for her to obey his call, the aged Queen looks back on her life, and on the trials, victories, and sorrows which brought her, eventually, to the throne of England.

Not quite 3-years-old when her mother, the notorious Anne Boleyn, was arrested and executed on charges of adultery and treason, Elizabeth became a true princess of the Tudor era, in a time when the balance of power, politics, and passion were fragile…and the cost of failure was death. Her childhood and teenage years were fraught with danger as competing factions and ideologies sought to undermine and destroy her in the bid for power at the Tudor court.

This is the story of Elizabeth Tudor, last daughter of Henry VIII, and her journey to the throne of England. Told from her own mouth…the tale of the Bastard Princess, who would, one day, become England’s greatest Queen. Book One, in the Elizabeth of England Chronicles by G. Lawrence, The Bastard Princess.

Dreary

Chances are, if you select this, you’ll already know Elizabeth’s story. This is told by her (presumably) when she’s in her old age and reminiscing about his life. The narrator has a pained and dreary voice, making even happy parts of the story very dull. It’s one of 3 books. I’m not going to listen to the others as it’s just too depressing.
