A BBC History magazine Book of the Year and an amazon.com Best Book
of the Month As religion divided sixteenth-century Europe, an
extraordinary group of women rose to power. They governed nations
while kings fought in foreign lands. They ruled on behalf of
nephews, brothers and sons. They negotiated peace between their
warring nations. For decades, they ran Europe. Small wonder that it
was in this century that the queen became the most powerful piece
on the chessboard. From mother to daughter and mentor to protegee,
Sarah Gristwood follows the passage of power from Isabella of
Castile and Anne de Beaujeu through Anne Boleyn - the woman who
tipped England into religious reform - and on to Elizabeth I and
Jeanne d'Albret, heroine of the Protestant Reformation. Unravelling
a gripping historical narrative, Gristwood reveals the stories of
the queens who had, until now, been overshadowed by kings.
