1603

This is the history of one of the biggest changes in British history – the year Elizabeth I died and the reign of the
Stuarts began. It covers everything from the death scene of Elizabeth in a darkened castle bedroom overlooking the Thames at Richmond to descriptions of a rosy cheeked milk maid in Somerset. The intriguing of Robert Cecil, the plotting in the court of the new king James 1st and a transcript description of the treason trial of
Sir Walter Ralegh.
