Summary
'Governing by Virtue' asks how a monarchy with no police force, no standing army, and little bureaucracy could rule England in the second half of the 16th century. Queen Elizabeth was the supreme ruler, but her chief manager Lord Burghley depended heavily on the virtue and honour of the ruling classes to keep the peace and defend the realm.
