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 fifth 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 four Queens in the throes of the Wars of the roses - the determined Katherine of Valois the formidable Margaret of Anjou, greedy, petulant Elizabeth Woodville and much put-upon Ann of Warwick.
