Description
Elizabeth I: A Turbulent Upbringing Elizabeth I's story as the 'Virgin Queen' is well known, but her early years were far from certain. Before she was three, she had been both a princess and then a bastard following the execution of her mother, Anne Boleyn. This biography charts her turbulent and unstable upbringing, exploring the dangers and tragedies that plagued her early life. Elizabeth was placed in further jeopardy when she was implicated in the Wyatt Rebellion of 1554, a plot to topple her half-sister, Mary, from her throne. Imprisoned in the Tower of London, under intense pressure and interrogation, Elizabeth adamantly protested her innocence. Though she was eventually liberated, she spent the remainder of Mary's reign under a dark cloud. On 17 November 1558, however, the uncertainty of Elizabeth's future came to an end when she succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-five. This book draws on primary sources written by Elizabeth herself and her contemporaries, providing an extensive and thorough study of a young woman whose early life would shape the queen she later became.
