Beschreibung:
This book examines the first thirty years of Elizabeth I¿s reign from the perspective of the Valois kings, Charles IX and Henri III of France. Estelle Paranque sifts through hundreds of French letters and ambassadorial reports to construct a fuller picture of early modern Anglo-French relations, highlighting key events such as the St. Bartholomew¿s Day Massacre, the imprisonment and execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the victory of England over the Spanish Armada in 1588. By drawing on a wealth of French sources, she illuminates the French royal family¿s shifting perceptions of Elizabeth I and suggests new conclusions about her reign.
Offers the first full-length study of French royal representations of Elizabeth I
