description: The fifteen years of British history between Elizabeth's accession to the throne and the death of the Duke of Norfolk were a true time of testing for the new regime. Professor MacCaffrey's masterful discussion of this important era provides a distillation of past and recent scholarship on this period and a fresh interpretation of the role of Queen Elizabeth and particularly of the Earl of Leicester in the complicated diplomatic and political decisions and events.
