"These essays offer readers Significant information for understanding this manuscript, which is an invaluable source, revealing important insights into contemporary understanding of the validity of regnant queenship.

It is a well-written and well-structured study that contributes substantially to Elizabethan studies." Sixteenth Century Journal
