Bloody Mary's martyrs : the story of England's terror by Jasper Godwin Ridley ( Book )
8 editions published between 2001 and 2002 in English and held by 883 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this chronicle of a Catholic monarch's heartless rage, a nation's fear, and the unimaginable courage of the Protestants who died for their faith, Jasper Ridley explores the dark years of Mary Tudor's reign and the most extreme persecution ever to occur in England--more than three hundred victims in less than three years. Within months of her ascension to the English throne in 1553, Mary restored Roman Catholicism to the nation, reinstated papal supremacy, wedded the Spanish prince Philip, and sealed an alliance with Catholic Spain. Her marriage failed to produce an heir, however. That failure--a sign, in Mary's view, of God's displeasure with the practice of "heretic" religion in England--prompted the childless queen to initiate her purge. Thus began the fires at Smithfield, and hundreds of Protestants--among them the Anglican bishop Hugh Latimer and Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer, as well as many prominent members of the nobility--met their death at the stake. This meticulously researched history relates their tragic, brutal, and often inspiring tale

Maximilian and Juárez by Jasper Godwin Ridley ( Book )
13 editions published between 1992 and 2001 in English and held by 822 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
One of the great tragicomedies of the nineteenth century, the attempt by Napoleon III to establish Archduke Maximilian of Austria as the emperor of Mexico. Biographer Jasper Ridley provides a colorful narrative of this ill-starred undertaking, which pitted liberals against conservatives and the New World against the Old, and ended with the execution of Maximilian, the insanity of his wife, Charlotte, and the emergence of the United States as a world power.--From publisher description

The houses of Hanover and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha by John Clarke ( Book )
5 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 386 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"When the great-grandson of James I became king in 1714, few were more disquieted at the imposition of the Elector of Hanover on the English and Scottish thrones than George I himself; it was an uncomfortable beginning to a new dynasty. The House of Hanover and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha describes the lives of the monarchs of those two houses against a background of war, American Independence and the Empire. Beautifully illustrated and accessibly written, these are the remarkable stories of the men and women - including 'mad' King George III and Queen Victoria - at the heart of English history."--BOOK JACKET
