The Courtships of Queen Elizabeth is a historical book written by Martin Hume. The book delves into the various negotiations that took place for Queen Elizabeth's marriage during her reign as the Queen of England. The book provides a detailed account of the courtships that Elizabeth was involved in and the political and personal factors that influenced her decisions. The book is a comprehensive study of the various suitors who vied for Elizabeth's hand in marriage, including the Duke of Anjou, the Earl of Leicester, and the King of Sweden. The author explores the reasons why Elizabeth never married and how her refusal to do so impacted her reign and the politics of England. The book is a fascinating insight into the life of one of England's most iconic queens and provides a unique perspective on the political and social climate of the time.Many suitors, driven by love, social-climbing or politics came close. See how and why she remained the Virgin Queen. ��That a strong modern England was rendered possible mainly by the boldness, astuteness, and activity of Elizabeth at the critical turning-point of European history is generally admitted; but how masterly her policy was, and how entirely personal to herself, is even yet perhaps not fully understood.��This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
