Virgin to Victoria - England's story from The Virgin Queen to Queen Victoria - Trisha Hughes

Virgin to Victoria is a powerful retelling of the history of the British Monarchy, beginning with Henry VIII's daughter, Elizabeth I, as she came to the throne.

Charting Elizabeth's incredible journey, Virgin to Victoria travels in time through the confusion of the Stuart Dynasty, the devastation of a Civil War led by Oliver Cromwell, horrific battles for the throne, and the turbulent Hanover Dynasty with its intricate family squabbles.

Despite her amazing legacy, Elizabeth failed England in one vital area. She never married, nor did she leave an heir to the Tudor Dynasty. In making this one fateful decision, the Virgin Queen left the path open for a takeover and life would never be the same.
