A vivid insight into the Elizabethan court on tour ., January 5, 1997
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
