Download or read book Queen Anne written by Anne Somerset and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 990 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She ascended the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1702, at age thirty-seven, Britain’s last Stuart monarch, and five years later united two of her realms, England and Scotland, as a sovereign state, creating the Kingdom of Great Britain. She had a history of personal misfortune, overcoming ill health (she suffered from crippling arthritis; by the time she became Queen she was a virtual invalid) and living through seventeen miscarriages, stillbirths, and premature births in seventeen years. By the end of her comparatively short twelve-year reign, Britain had emerged as a great power; the succession of outstanding victories won by her general, John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough, had humbled France and laid the foundations for Britain’s future naval and colonial supremacy. While the Queen’s military was performing dazzling exploits on the continent, her own attention—indeed her realm—rested on a more intimate conflict: the female friendship on which her happiness had for decades depended and which became for her a source of utter torment. At the core of Anne Somerset’s riveting new biography, published to great acclaim in England (“Definitive”—London Evening Standard; “Wonderfully pacy and absorbing”—Daily Mail), is a portrait of this deeply emotional, complex bond between two very different women: Queen Anne—reserved, stolid, shrewd; and Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, wife of the Queen’s great general—beautiful, willful, outspoken, whose acerbic wit was equally matched by her fearsome temper. Against a fraught background—the revolution that deposed Anne’s father, James II, and brought her to power . . . religious differences (she was born Protestant—her parents’ conversion to Catholicism had grave implications—and she grew up so suspicious of the Roman church that she considered its doctrines “wicked and dangerous”) . . . violently partisan politics (Whigs versus Tories) . . . a war with France that lasted for almost her entire reign . . . the constant threat of foreign invasion and civil war—the much-admired historian, author of Elizabeth I (“Exhilarating”—The Spectator; “Ample, stylish, eloquent”—The Washington Post Book World), tells the extraordinary story of how Sarah goaded and provoked the Queen beyond endurance, and, after the withdrawal of Anne’s favor, how her replacement, Sarah’s cousin, the feline Abigail Masham, became the ubiquitous royal confidante and, so Sarah whispered to growing scandal, the object of the Queen's sexual infatuation. To write this remarkably rich and passionate biography, Somerset, winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography, has made use of royal archives, parliamentary records, personal correspondence and previously unpublished material. Queen Anne is history on a large scale—a revelation of a centuries-overlooked monarch.

The whole army assembled under Das Minas was composed of forty-two squadrons, thirtyfive battalions, thirteen field-guns and a siege train; and its total strength amounted to 19,000 men. To command the Bourbon army on the side of Portugal, the Due de Berwick (now a marshal of France) had again been sent to Spain. His force in Estremadura was forty-five squadrons and twenty-seven 1 The English troops were Harvey's Horse, with Portmore's, Stewart's, Blood's, Wade's (late Duncanson's) and Brndenell's Foot. battalions, numbering 15,300 men, who were all Spanish. After posting eight of his battalions in Badajoz, and eleven in other fortresses, he encamped at Talavera, where he was soon joined by Major-Generals Fiennes and Geoffreville, who brought with them thirteen squadrons. He then sent his remaining eight battalions to Alcantara to reinforce the two already in garrison there; and having thus (with questionable wisdom) denuded himself of his foot, he encamped with 4,000 horse at Brocas, twelve miles from the last-named fortress. On March 31st the Allies left Elvas; and on hearing that Berwick was at Brocas, they resolved to attack him. On April 8th, on the arrival of their horse before that post, the French marshal immediately retired with his main body, leaving a rear-guard under Fiennes, who was charged by the Portuguese squadrons led by Das Minas and Galway. At first Fiennes held his ground; but after a short combat he retreated in disorder, with a loss of 100 killed and prisoners, amongst the latter being Major-General Monroy. On the side of the Allies, LieutenantGeneral De St. Vincente was killed, together with thirty troopers. The...

Download or read book King William's War written by Michael G. Laramie and published by Westholme Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King William's War encompassed several proxy wars being fought by the English and the French through their native allies: the Beaver Wars, a long running feud between the Iroquois Confederacy, New France, and New France's native allies over control of the lucrative fur trade, and the second Wabanaki War between New England colonists and the pro-French Wabanaki of Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. These two conflicts officially became one with the arrival of news of a declaration of war between France and England in 1689. The next nine years saw coordinated attacks, including French assaults on Schenectady, New York, and Massachusetts, and English attacks around Montreal and on Nova Scotia. The war ended diplomatically, but started again five years later in Queen Anne's War. A riveting history full of memorable characters and events, and supported by extensive primary source material, King William's War: The First Contest for North America, 1689-1697 by Michael G. Laramie is the first book-length treatment of a war that proved crucial to the future of North America.
