Elizabeth I 
The Story of the Last Tudor Queen

The story of Elizabeth I, the

last Tudor monarch, is one of enduring fascination. Daughter of the

tyrannical Henry VIII and sister of the embittered Queen Mary,

Elizabeth did well to survive her childhood. Clever, learned and

skilled in diplomacy, as queen she presided over a golden age of

literature, exploration and discovery. A selective

version of events from Elizabeth »s life focuses on her younger years,

without distorting the

picture of a reign dominated by war, political intrigue and religious

disputes.
