Elizabeth I of England is one of my primary interests in English
History. I am reading and reviewing as many things as possible.
This DVD is quite good. It isn't the best I've watched. But
it is fairly accurate. I recommend to anyone who needs to know as much as possible about Elizabeth I.

When I bought this video, I was very exited, but it turns out to be shambles! Almost all of the time we see David Starkey, HELLO! I wanted to see the HISTORICAL PEOPLE (Elizabeth I, Mary I, Henry VIII, Mary Stuart et.) in action- or a story! When they actually do show them, they are still and rarely talk! If volume were on mute, the DVD would have been USELESS! Who wants to see David Starkey talking about Elizabeth 3/4 of the time or inactive historical figures or portraits! Educational but NOT entertaining. No Story. No Action. NOT EFFECTIVE! The Documentary in Elizabeth R DVD wasn't a story and didn't much action but it was much more effective and interesting than this! Next time don't have a narrarator like Starkey in film ALL THE TIME!

This History Channel four part documentary on the life of the famous Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I is an excellent addition to any history enthusiast's video library. Combining commentary with well-done re-enactments, this mini-series chronicles the rise and reign of the most famous queen in history, Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. This series follows her life from her childhood, where she was raised as a lady in a man's world, tossed about after the death of her father, to whom she was devoted, and ultimately spending her adolescence trying to fend off the advances of her step-father. After suffering through the reign on her virulently Catholic half-sister, "Bloody" Mary, Elizabeth finally ascends to the throne of England in time to fend off conspiracies, rebellions, and marriage proposals. We then follow as Elizabeth grows into a powerful and intelligent queen, first by putting down a rebellion instigated by Mary, Queen of Scots, then outmanuevering Spain's Phillip II and defeating his great Armada in the English Channel. Elizabeth's life is a fascinating and entertaining piece of history and this wonderful DVD series does it great justice. Highly recommended.
