Narrated in Elizabeth's own voice, the novel presents the monarch's personal account of her battles against political intrigue, religious upheaval, and the relentless pressure to marry and produce an heir, all while forging an identity as an indomitable sovereign in an age that dismissed female rule.\n\nJean Plaidy — the pen name of the prolific Eleanor Hibbert — was a master of the royal historical novel, and this work stands as one of her most compelling achievements, illustrating her remarkable ability to breathe vivid, human life into the figures of history. With meticulous research underpinning every page, she transforms the grand sweep of Elizabethan history into an intimate, psychologically rich portrait of a woman who chose her kingdom above all else. Readers who believe they know Elizabeth I will find their certainties delightfully, and perhaps unsettlingly, challenged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203203899611,"sku":"2026200015281-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c6b7d538-3228-4646-ae3d-42a2f7c9b8f3.png?v=1788145633","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015281-secondhand-queen-of-this-realm-the-story-of-elizabeth-i","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
