This is the story of how Elizabeth became Queen. We can hardly imagine a Britain without Elizabeth II on the throne. It seems to be the job she was born for. & yet, for much of her early life, the young princess did not know the role that her future would hold. She was our accidental Queen. As a young girl, Elizabeth was among the guests in Westminster Abbey watching her father being crowned, making her the only monarch to have attended a parent's coronation. Kate Williams explores the sheltered upbringing of the young princess, with a gentle father & domineering mother, her complicated relationship with her sister, Princess Margaret, & her dependence on her nanny, Marion ' Crawfie' Crawford. She details the profound & devastating impact of the abdication crisis, when, at the impressionable age of eleven, Elizabeth found her position changed overnight: no longer a minor princess she was now heiress to the throne. Elizabeth's determination to share in the struggles of her people marked her out from a young age. Her father initially refused to let her volunteer as a nurse during the Blitz, but relented when she was eighteen & allowed her to work as a mechanic & truck driver for the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service. It was her forward-thinking approach that ensured that her coronation was televised, against the advice of politicians at the time. Kate Williams reveals how the 25-year-old young Queen carved out a lasting role for herself amid the changes of the twentieth century. Her monarchy would be a very different one to that of her parents & grandparents. & its continuing popularity in the twenty-first century owes much to the intelligence & elusive personality of this remarkable woman. ...

Henry became the unexpected heir to the precarious Tudor throne in 1502, after his elder brother Arthur died. He also inherited both his brother's wardrobe & his wife, the Spanish princess Katherine of Aragon. He became king in April 1509 with many personality traits inherited from his father
- the love of magnificence, the rituals of kingship, the excitement of hunting & gambling & the construction of grand new palaces. After those early glory days of feasting, fun & frolic, the continuing lack of a male Tudor heir runs like a thin line of poison through Henry's reign. After he fell in love with Anne Boleyn, he gambled everything on her providing him with a son & heir. From that day forward everything changed. Based on contemporary accounts, Young Henry provides a compelling vision of the splendours, intrigues & tragedies of the royal court, presided over by the ruthless & insecure Henry VIII. With his customary scholarship & narrative verve, Robert Hutchinson provides fresh insights into what drove England's most famous monarch, & how this happy, playful Renaissance prince was transformed into the tyrant of his later years.

Henry VIII always had problems with women. Born on 28 June 1491, he lived in the shadow of his elder brother Arthur & his dour & autocratic father, Henry VII. Elizabeth of York, Henry's mother, died when he was twelve & thereafter he lived under the thumb of his formidable grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, who beneath a pious exterior was the arch-conspirator of the last days of the Wars of the Roses. Everything changed when Arthur died of tuberculosis at Ludlow Castle in 1502, less than six months after his marriage to the Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon. Henry VII died in April 1509 when his sole heir was nine weeks away from his eighteenth birthday. His grandmother acted as regent until his birthday & he married his brother's widow, Catherine on 11 June, two weeks before their joint coronation. Henry quickly swept away the musty cobwebs of his father's court. He loved magnificence, merriment & the hunting field, & could fire an arrow further than most of his professional archers. Henry could dance everyone off their feet & could drink most men under the table. But Henry became frustrated & angry at his lack of sons by Catherine & his attention began to wander. Some time in 1526 he fell passionately in love with Anne Boleyn. At the age of 35, the time for youthful frolic had ended. To achieve his heart's overpowering desire, the executions had now to begin. Young Henry provides readers with an unique & compelling vision of the splendours & tragedies of the royal court, presided over by a magnificent & ruthless monarch.
