Matthew Dennison's elegantly written biography restores Beatrice to her rightful place as a key figure in the history of the Victorian age, and paints a touching and revealing portrait of the life and family of Britain's second-longest-reigning monarch. Matthew Dennison is the author of three acclaimed works of non-fiction: The Last Princess: The Devoted Life of Queen Victorias Youngest Daughter. Beatrice remained Queen Victoria's favourite among her five daughters, and became her mother's constant companion and later her literary executor, spending the years that followed Victoria's death in 1901 editing her mother's journals and voluminous correspondence. She would eventually marry Prince Henry of Battenberg in 1885, but only after overcoming her mother's opposition to their union. Her childhood coincided with her mother's extended period of mourning for her prematurely deceased husband, a circumstance which may have contributed to Victoria's determination to keep her youngest daughter as close to her as possible. Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore, later Princess Henry of Battenberg, was the last-born - in 1866 - of Victoria and Albert's children, and she would outlive all of her siblings to die as recently as 1944. It was in this remarkable room on 20 June 1837 that Princess Victoria was woken by the Duchess of Kent, to receive the news of the death of her uncle, King William IV in her sitting-room below.

I say that with the caveat that while the female narrator did an amazing job with most of the voices, I did find that with her having so many to play I didn’t necessarily love each guy’s tone. This duet as well as the previous book in the sweetverse before this one featuring Lola‘s best friend Baby have me really interested in checking out more books by this author. And was extremely happy with how everything ended overall. I was really happy to see her get her moment. It made the ending even more satisfying especially as the big plot point that had been hanging over both books was finally resolved. And I loved how she grew and developed and came into her own in this book. I loved how she had a special connection with each of them. There was excellent development between Lola and her men.

Churches were fortified and the peasantry suffered deprivation as armies crisscrossed the country, ravaging estates and burning property. In response to the crisis, nobles built still more castles, and rivals to the king set up their own mints and produced new coinage. Matilda then launched an all-out campaign to win back the crown, plunging the country into a civil war that lasted almost 20 years. But her cousin, Stephen of Blois, also a grandchild of William the Conqueror, snatched the throne from under her nose. When William’s son King Henry I died in 1135, his rightful heir was his daughter, Empress Matilda. And, in less than a century, the castle became the epicenter of one of the most momentous conflicts in English history. Along with Oxford and Windsor Castles, Wallingford was one of the most significant of these early Norman fortresses. Led by the newly crowned William the Conqueror, the Normans-descended from Norsemen who had settled in northern France in the tenth century-built castles in large numbers throughout England to control lands they had seized from the Anglo-Saxons. Some 20 miles downriver of Oxford and an arrow shot from the eastern bank of the Thames rise the limestone ruins of Wallingford Castle, a massive fortress built following the Norman invasion of England in 1066. Constituting an amorphous group of interfaith activists that goes by many names and takes many forms, this coalition has operated since America's founding - praying, protesting, and marching for common goals that have moved society forward. Since the ascendancy of the Religious Right in the 1970s, common wisdom holds that it is a coalition of fundamentalist powerbrokers who are the "moral majority," setting the standard for conservative Christian values and working to preserve the status quo.īut, as national religion reporter Jack Jenkins contends, the country is also driven by a vibrant, long-standing moral force from the left.
