Agnes Strickland Lives of the Queens of England Volume 4

A modern annotated and unabridged issue of the celebrated Lives of the Queens of England by Agnes Strickland.The text is taken unaltered from the 1857 re-issue of the 1852 Second edition.Many of the original footnotes and references to primary sources have been omitted in the interest of clarity and space.A minimum of footnotes have been added to explain what have by now become obsolete linguistic references and usage.This is the third volume in a projected series to cover the entire original eight volumes of Strickland's original Second Edition.In it we have trailblazing diligent, enlightening and, at times, entertaining biographies of the last three Plantagenet Queens - Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois, together with the first of the Lancastrian Queens - Joanna of Navarre.
