After Elizabeth: The Rise of James of Scotland and the Struggle for the Throne of England by Leanda de Lisle After Elizabeth: The Rise of James of Scotland and the Struggle for the Throne of England by Leanda de Lisle PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Many volumes have been written about the long reign of Elizabeth I. Now, for the first time, comes a brilliant new work that focuses on the critical year her reign ended, a time in which England lost its childless queen and a Machiavellian struggle ensued to find her successor. December 1602. After forty-four years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth is in decline. The formidable ruler whose motto is Semper eadem (I never change) has become a dithering old woman, missing teeth and wearing makeup half an inch thick. The kingdom has been weakened by the cost of war with Spain and the simmering discontent of both the rich and the poor. The stage has been set, at long last, for succession. But the Queen who famously never married has no heir. Elizabeth’s s...

Born to Trade: Indian Business Communities in Medieval and Early Modern Eurasia by Surendra Gopal Born to Trade: Indian Business Communities in Medieval and Early Modern Eurasia by Surendra Gopal PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad This pioneering work traces migration of Indian traders to Russia, Iran, West Asia and South-East Asia in medieval times.

Indians did not enjoy political and administrative support as the European East India Companies did. Occasionally local rulers consulted them and sought their a...

Song of the Vikings: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths by Nancy Marie Brown Song of the Vikings: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths by Nancy Marie Brown PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Much like Greek and Roman mythology, Norse myths are still with us. Famous storytellers from JRR Tolkien to Neil Gaiman have drawn their inspiration from the long-haired, mead-drinking, marauding and pillaging Vikings. Their creator is a thirteenth-century Icelandic chieftain by the name of Snorri Sturluson. Like Homer, Snorri was a bard, writing down and embellishing the folklore and pagan legends of medieval Scandinavia. Unlike Homer, Snorri was a man of the world—a wily political power player, one of the richest men in Iceland who  came close to ruling it, and even closer to betraying it… In Song of the Vikings , award-winning author Nancy Marie Brown brings Snorri Sturluson’s story to life in a richly textured narrative that draws on newly available sources. From reader reviews: Ian Ashlock: Why don...
