Here, for the first time, are outlined the subterfuges and wiles of
the six queens who largely ruled Europe during the second half of
the sixteenth century, as well as the complex relationships between
them. Up against what was essentially a man's world, they proved
highly adept at using women's intuition and marriage - or more
particularly engagement - to gain international advantages. They
also showed an ambiguity towards Protestantism which was in stark
contrast to the tyranny of kings. Above all, these were the women
who stormed the cartel of male rulers and were the first to win
respected places on the stage of international politics. As a
journalist, the author has felt at liberty to pursue and describe
these fascinating and unconventional characters and incidents
beyond the strict confines of the qualified historian.
