Daughters of the Winter QueenFour Remarkable Sisters, the Crown of Bohemia, and the Enduring Legacy of Mary, Queen of Scots
Nancy Goldstone
The daughter of James I, Elizabeth Stuart, the ‘Winter Queen’ was married to Frederick, Elector Palatine, who became King of Bohemia – for one season. Nancy Goldstone’s engrossing history first tells Elizabeth’s story, from childhood in the Stuart court to deposed queen in exile, then describes the lives of her four daughters: Princess Elizabeth, Louise Hollandine, Henrietta Maria and Sophia, Electress of Hanover and mother of George I – women who ‘formed the loom upon which the great tapestry of Europe was woven’.
