      abstract = {Many volumes have been written about the reign of  Elizabeth I; this book focuses on the critical year her  reign ended, when England lost its childless queen and a  Machiavellian struggle ensued to find her successor.  December 1602: The formidable ruler has become a dithering  old woman. The kingdom has been weakened by the cost of war  with Spain and the simmering discontent of both the rich  and the poor. Elizabeth's senior relative, James VI of  Scotland, is a foreigner and a Stuart, excluded from the  throne under English law. Around the old queen and the new  king swirl a cast of unforgettable characters. We witness  the scheming of courtiers for the candidates of their  choice, and the widespread fear that civil war, invasion,  or revolution will follow the monarch's death; and we are  given intimate insights into political power plays and  psychological portraits relevant to our own era.--From  publisher description.},
