Lives of the Queens of England Volume 1

Lives of the Queens of England Volume 1, authored by Agnes Strickland and largely researched by her sister Elisabeth, presents biographies of the queens of England from the Norman Conquest in 1066. This volume covers notable figures such as Matilda of Flanders, Matilda of Scotland, Adelicia of Louvaine, Matilda of Boulogne, and Eleanora of Aquitaine. While not considered highly scholarly by modern standards, it utilized many previously unexamined sources, making it a significant work in the study of English royal history.
