There is no detailed account of any of Elizabeth IOs progresses and none of the many references in biographies mention more than the major occasions, such as the spectacular visit to Kenilworth. In this pioneering work Dovey uses contemporary documents to study in detail a single, long progress, covering the court servantsO preparations, the stops en route, and the work of the Council, who had to go along.

Great detail,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Elizabethan Progress: The Queen's Journey to East Anglia, 1578 (Hardcover)
Many details, not revealed or available from other sources, bring to life Elizabeth's Court. Great detail in the logistics need to move Elizabeth's court during progress are revealed. Places historical events into the everyday existance of the time. A must for the Elizabethan historian.

A vivid insight into the Elizabethan court on tour .,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Elizabethan Progress: The Queen's Journey to East Anglia, 1578 (Hardcover)
This book gives a deep insight into the protocols and systems required in the 16th century to maintain the monarchy in a position of strength while still governing a somewhat turbulent nation.Good research brings life to places, people and events.The wider political problems of Elizabeths reign rightly take second place to the general day to day requirements of a the Tudor nobility to sustain the rigours of court functions by laying heavy demands upon local landowners and their like.A book for those with both a deep and those with a more peripheral interest in Elizabethan history
