Synopsis

This is the first dual biography of two of the world's most remarkable women - Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots - by one of the world's best biographers. In a rich and riveting narrative, Jane Dunn reveals the extraordinary rivalry between the two regal cousins. It is the story of two queens ruling on one island, each with a claim to the throne of England, each embodying dramatically opposing qualities of character, ideals of womanliness (and views of sexuality) and divinely ordained kingship (or queenship).
