Excerpt from Queen Elizabeth

During her father's life Elizabeth lived chiefly at Hatfield with her brother Edward, under a governess. Henry had been empowered by Parliament in 1536 to settle the succession by his will. In 1544 be caused an Act to be passed placing Mary and Elizabeth next in order of succession after Edward. By his will, made a few days before his death, he repeated the provisions of the Act of 1544, and placed next to Elizabeth the daughters of his younger sister, the Duchess of Suffolk, tacitly passing over his elder sister, the Queen of Scotland.

After her father's death (jan. 1547) Elizabeth, then a girl of thirteen, went to reside with the Queen Dowager Catherine, who had not been many weeks a widow before she married her old lover Thomas Seymour, the Lord Admiral, brother of the Protector Somerset, described as fierce in courage, courtly in fashion, in personage stately, in voice magnificent, but somewhat empty of matter. The romping that soon began to go on between this dangerous man and Elizabeth was of such a nature that early in the next year Catherine found it necessary to send her away somewhat abruptly. From that time she resided chiefly at Hatfield.

Reseña del editor:

England during forty-five 5ears, abounding at the same time in personal interest, and the subject, both in its public and private aspect, of fierce and probably interminable controversies. Evidently a bird s-eye view is all that can be attempted; and the most important episodes alone can be selected for consideration. The daughter of Henry YIII. and A nne Boleyn was born on September 6, 1533. A nne was niece of Thomas, third Duke of Norfork, and all the great Howard kinsmen attended at the baptism four days afterwards.
