But in 1583, when Elizabeth is fifty, there is relentless plotting among her courtiers -- and still to come is the Spanish Armada and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. We have not, until now, had the full picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gripping and vivid portrait of her life and times -- often told in her own words (and including details such as her love of chess and marzipan) -- reveals a woman who was insecure, human ('You know I am no morning woman'), and unpopular even with the men who fought for her. This is the real Elizabeth, for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43697397465132,"sku":"9780241963654","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780241963654_a1f7298b-e467-49e4-ab67-b28c515248fd.jpg?v=1759679607","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780241963654","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
