Queen Mary of Modena: Her Life and Letters is a biography of Mary Beatrice d'Este, the second wife of King James II of England. Written by historian Martin Haile, the book delves into Mary's life from her birth in Italy to her marriage to James II and her eventual exile to France after the Glorious Revolution. The book draws heavily from Mary's personal letters, which offer insight into her thoughts and feelings about her marriage, her role as queen, and the political turmoil of her time. Haile also explores the complex political and religious landscape of 17th century England, and how Mary's Catholic faith and her husband's unpopular policies contributed to their downfall. Overall, Queen Mary of Modena: Her Life and Letters offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a little-known queen and the turbulent times in which she lived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
