Excellent- More about Mary I (Penguin Monarchs): The Daughter of Time
The Penguin Monarchs series presents short, fresh, and expert accounts of England's rulers, including Mary I, who could have completely changed her country's history if she had succeeded.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 128 pages
Publication date: 28 June 2018
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd
The acclaimed Penguin Monarchs series presents concise and insightful accounts of the rulers of England, now available in paperback format. Among the notable figures in this series is Mary I, the elder daughter of Henry VIII, who ascended to the throne upon the unexpected death of her brother Edward VI in 1553. Mary's reign, although brief, holds immense historical significance as a potential turning point in the nation's history.
As a devout Catholic and the wife of Philip II, the king of Spain and the most powerful monarch in Europe, Mary possessed the potential to radically transform her country's course. She could have made England a province of the Habsburg Empire, reverting it to obedience to Rome. John Edward's exceptional short biography vividly brings to life these extraordinary possibilities, shedding light on the real Mary I, who has been largely overshadowed by the overwhelming Protestant propaganda that tarnished her reputation during her younger sister Elizabeth I's reign.
What if Mary I had succeeded in her endeavors? This thought-provoking question invites us to contemplate the course of English history had she achieved her goals. The Penguin Monarchs series offers a valuable perspective on these historical figures, providing readers with a deeper understanding of their lives and legacies.
