About this deal
She did not stop Drake and his privateers from attacking and plundering, not only Spanish, but also French’s ships.
This is not the Catherine of Nancy Goldstone's The Rival Queens: Catherine de' Medici, Her Daughter Marguerite de Valois, and the Betrayal that Ignited a Kingdom or Jean Plaidy’s fictional treatment in Madame Serpent.The same is true for Elizabeth, who had to decide on the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (not to be confused with her half-sister).
Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen explore the contested and dramatic history of the library, from the famous collections of the ancient world to the embattled public resources we cherish today. Your payment method will be charged immediately, and the product is expected to ship on or around December 6, 2022.

Two queens; one a wife and the mother of kings and the other a virgin who had to fight for the right to rule her country independently. Catherine’s 20 year negotiations to marry one of her sons to Elizabeth and 3) Elizabeth’s house arrest of Mary Queen of Scots and the later prosecution and execution. Instead, 'Blood, Fire and Gold' offers an insightful and colourfully fleshed out account of the relationship between Elizabeth I and Catherine de Medici, which altered the course of European history. I’ve read a lot of history books but this is different, I didn’t realise what Catherine de Medici did for France and history. I didn't know anything about Catherine de' Medici or the various religious wars between Catholics and Protestants in France during this time period.
