Daughters of the Winter Queen: Four Remarkable Sisters, the Crown of Bohemia, and the Enduring Legacy of Mary, Queen of Scots by Nancy GoldstoneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Elizabeth Stuart is the beautiful daughter of James VI and his queen Anne of Denmark who recently came to the throne of England. Elizabeth turns down many catholic suitors to marry a nobody from the Palatinate who James promises to make a king. After successful election to the throne the short lived monarchs are forced into exile in the Netherlands forever to be known as the Winter King and Queen. The family struggles with Catholic conversions, poverty and Charles I and the civil war in England. This book is a topic I haven't seen before. Nancy Goldstone is the Queen of popular history. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
