Book Description
Excerpt from Regal Records: Or a Chronicle of the Coronations of the Queens Regnant of England One hundred and twenty-three years having elapsed since a female wore the imperial crown of these islands, the ceremonies with which the round and top of sovereignty is placed upon a lady's brow, have naturally become an object of curiosity to thousands of the loving subjects of her present Most Gracious Majesty. There exists also, on other matters of state pageantry, a degree of uncertainty and a craving for information proportionate to the affectionate interest with which her Majesty's ac cession is viewed by all classes of the community.

Book Description
Maureen Waller has written a fascinating narrative history---a brilliant combination of drama and biographical insight on the British monarchy---of the six women who have ruled England in their own names. In the last millennium there have been only six English female sovereigns: Mary I and Elizabeth I, Mary II and Anne, Victoria and Elizabeth II. With the exception of Mary I, they are among England's most successful monarchs. Without Mary II and Anne, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 might not have taken place. Elizabeth I and Victoria each gave their name to an age, presiding over long periods when Britain made significant progress in the growth of empire, prestige, and power. All of them have far-reaching legacies. Each faced personal sacrifices and emotional dilemmas in her pursuit of political power. How to overcome the problem of being a female ruler when the sex was considered inferior? Does a queen take a husband and, if so, how does she reconcile the reversal of the natural order, according to which the man should be the master? A queen's first royal duty is to provide an heir to the throne, but at what cost? In this richly compelling narrative of royalty, Maureen Waller delves into the intimate lives of England's queens regnant in delicious detail, assessing their achievements from a female perspective.
