Christopher Lee - 1603: The Death Of Elizabeth I And The Birth Of The Stuart EraReview 2004 Paperback, 371pp. A great step-change in British history took place in 1603: the year that Elizabeth I died and the monarchy passed from the Tudors to the Stuarts, from the house of Henry VIII to James VI of Scotland who ruled as James I of England. It was also the year the Black Death returned, killing some 30,000 out of a population of only 4 million. This is the story of both the history-makers - Elizabeth, James, Robert Cecil, Shakespeare, Galileo - and of the common people; of turmoil in the Church, state-sponsored piracy and the establishment of new trade routes. Cover a little worn; spine creased. (ISBN: 9780747234265). Good. NZD 11.50 [Appr.: EURO 6 US$ 6.96 | £UK 5.25 | JP¥ 1018] Book number 1568995is offered by:
