Praise for Alison Weir
The Life of Elizabeth I
“An extraordinary piece of historical scholarship.”
–Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Weir succeeds in making Elizabeth and her subjects come to life in this clearly written and well-researched biography.”
–Library Journal (starred review)
Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Murder of Lord Darnley
“The finest historian of English monarchical succession writing now is Alison Weir. . . . Her assiduousness and informed judgment are precisely what make her a writer to trust.”
–The Boston Globe
“Conspiracy, treason, perjury, and forgery, along with . . . political assassination, and several deadly sins . . . While Ms. Weir does not stint on the sensational details, she is above all a historian and dogged researcher. She sifts through sources, which were often compromised, and thinks like a forensics expert.”
–The Wall Street Journal
Eleanor of Aquitaine
“Extraordinary . . . as delicately textured as a twelfth-century tapestry . . . exhilarating in its color, ambition, and human warmth. The author exhibits a breathtaking grasp of the physical and cultural context of Queen Eleanor’s life.”
–Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Evocative . . . a rich tapestry of a bygone age and a judicious assessment of her subject’s place within it.”
–Newsday
