Itinerarium ad Windsor concerns a central question of the
Elizabethan era: Why should a woman be allowed to rule with the
same powers as a king? The man who poses this controversial
question within Itinerarium is none other than Queen Elizabeth's
powerful favorite Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. On hand to
provide answers are the statesman and poet Thomas Sackville, Lord
Buckhurst, and William Fleetwood antiquary, Recorder of London, and
dutiful chronicler of their 1575 conversation. This critical
edition of Itinerarium reproduces Fleetwood's text with annotations
and a host of interpretive and contextualizing essays from leading
scholars. Taken together, they constitute the definitive
introduction to this remarkable discussion of regnant queenship,
providing a valuable tool for understanding contemporary notions of
and underlying fears concerning the efficacy and desirability of
female rule in Elizabethan England.
