Elisabeth Farnese: The Termagant of Spain is a historical biography written by Edward Armstrong and published in 1892. The book tells the story of Elisabeth Farnese, a powerful and controversial queen consort of Spain in the 18th century. Farnese was born into a noble Italian family and married King Philip V of Spain in 1714. She quickly became a dominant force in Spanish politics, using her intelligence and cunning to influence the king and advance her own agenda. Farnese was known for her strong personality and temper, earning her the nickname the Termagant. The book explores Farnese's life and reign, including her role in the War of the Quadruple Alliance and her efforts to strengthen the Spanish monarchy. Armstrong draws on a variety of primary sources, including letters and official documents, to provide a detailed and engaging portrait of this fascinating historical figure. Overall, Elisabeth Farnese: The Termagant of Spain offers a compelling look at one of the most influential women of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
