Description

Mary I by Rosalind K. Marshall. Known to history as 'Bloody Mary', Henry VIII's daughter was, in fact, a learned and accomplished woman, a sincere and devout adherent to Roman Catholicism at a time of great religious controversy. She endured many reversals of fortune, almost from infancy, with fortitude and obstinate courage. This new, illustrated biography looks at the real Mary behind the image of the villainous Queen, guiding us through the religious and dynastic struggles which helped shape her character: from a cosseted childhood to a young womanhood wrecked by annulment of her parents' marriage and pressure to renounce her legitimacy; from the exciting events surrounding her succession to the disappointment of her marriage and the disasters of her reign. Signed by the author with and inscription to a previous owner.
