Courting the Virgin Queen
For more than half a century, Elizabeth I was pursued by kings,
princes, and nobles from across Europe. During the marriage
negotiations, romance blended with diplomacy as suitor after suitor
endeavored to ally himself with her in the most intimate of
treaties. Yet not one of these illustrious rivals managed to secure
his quarry. Even Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester--the most
persistent of all the suitors to the queen--never won her, though
he was dearly loved by Elizabeth all her life.
Why did so many fail? Was Her Majesty haunted by the six
marriages of her father, Henry VIII? Was her traumatic early love
affair with Thomas Seymour, a man who was effectively her
stepfather, to blame? Or was Elizabeth simply in love with the
chase?
A fascinating chronicle filled with romance and intrigue,
Josephine Ross's The Men Who Would Be King tells the riveting true
story of the greatest hunt in history: the pursuit of the Virgin
Queen.
