October 1612. King James I is looking to expand England's influence in Europe, especially among the Protestants. He invites Prince Frederic of the Palatinate to London and offers him his sixteen-year-old daughter Elizabeth's hand in marriage. The fierce and intelligent Elizabeth moves to Heidelberg Castle, Frederic's ancestral home, where she is favored with whatever she desires, and the couple begins their family. Amid much turmoil, the Hapsburg emperor is weakened, and with help from Bohemian rebels, Frederic takes over royal duties in Prague. Thus, Elizabeth becomes the Queen of Bohemia. But their reign is brief. Within the year, Catholic Europe unites to take back the Hapsburg throne. Defeated at the Battle of White Mountain, Frederic, Elizabeth, and their children are forced into exile for a much-reduced life in The Hague. Despite tumultuous seasons of separation and heartache, the Winter Queen makes every effort to keep her family intact. Written with cinematic flair, this historical novel brings in key figures such as Shakespeare and Descartes as it recreates the drama and intrigue of 17th-century England and the Continent. Elizabeth's children included Rupert of the Rhine and Sophia of Hanover, from whom the Hanoverian line descended to the present Queen Elizabeth II. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 00 Elizabeth,|cQueen, consort of Frederick I, King of Bohemia, |d1596-1662|vFiction. 600 30 Wittelsbach, House of|vFiction. 650 0 Queens|zCzech Republic|zBohemia|vFiction. 651 0 Bohemia (Czech Republic)|xHistory|y1618-1848|vFiction. 651 0 Palatinate (Germany)|xHistory|yFrederick V, 1610-1623 |vFiction. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Biographical fiction.|2gsafd 700 1 Dallas, Alex. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12416442?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ecw_9781773054490_180.jpeg
