Dubbed the \"pirate queen\" by the Vatican and Spain's Philip II, she employed a network of daring merchants, brazen adventurers, astronomer philosophers, and her stalwart Privy Council to anchor her throne-and in doing so, planted the seedlings of an empire that would ultimately cover two-fifths of the world.In The Pirate Queen, historian Susan Ronald offers a fresh look at Elizabeth I, relying on a wealth of historical sources and thousands of the queen's personal letters to tell the thrilling story of a visionary monarch and the swashbuckling mariners who terrorized the seas to amass great wealth for themselves and the Crown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598891516192,"sku":"NEW0060820675","price":14.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71U5NH4cAlL.jpg?v=1778455288","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-pirate-queen-queen-elizabeth-i-her-pirate-adventurers-and-the-dawn-of-empire-0060820675","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
