The first section chronicles the turbulent reign of Catherine de Medici, the formidable Florentine queen-mother of France, illuminating her pivotal role in the Wars of Religion and the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Renowned historian J. E. Neale then turns his authoritative gaze to Elizabethan England, presenting a series of incisive essays that detail the political, religious, and social currents of the age. Written with clarity and analytical precision, the work illustrates the deep interconnections between the French and English crowns during one of Europe's most volatile centuries. Neale's scholarship remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the sixteenth-century world that shaped modern Western civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956345385179,"sku":"2026200008346-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/184310e8-a963-4678-9ba4-f5c5609c802f.png?v=1783499926","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008346-secondhand-the-age-of-catherine-de-medici-and-essays-in-elizabethan-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
