Does anyone know any good references on Queen Elizabeth I of England?

Question

i have to do 500 word biography on her. I can only use one internet source, one book source and one reference book source.
Anything would be helpful and much appreciated!

Answer 1

I go with the Alison Weir book. She also wrote another, dealing with Elizabeth's early years: "Children of England". I don't know if you'd be able to use both. There are also David Starkey's and Alison Plowden's books - all excellent.

I have also found you a couple of sites to choose from:
http://tudorhistory.org/elizabeth/
http://www.elizabethi.org/

Edit: and another, detailed one:
http://englishhistory.net/tudor/monarchs/eliz1.html

I don't know about reference sources, but there are recommended books in the above links.

Answer 2

As previous Alison Weir also look at Elizabeth 1st by Anne Somerset

Answer 3

I read "The Life of Elizabeth I" by Alison Weir. It was really good!
