Sir William Cecil: Elizabeth I's Chief Minister (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781911190103)

Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley was at Elizabeth I's side from the day she became Queen until his death forty years later. During that period they worked closely together - not always agreeing on policy, but with mutual trust and confidence. At the heart of Burghley's policy was the ambition to forge a Protestant state, preferably linking England and Scotland to stand against Catholic Europe. However, politics weren't his only passion, he also had a vast array of other interests, including architecture, maps, books and his family.
