Quotes by David Starkey (?)

“Elizabeth for the whole of Edward's reign, never wore the rich jewels and clothes left her by her father. Instead, she offered a more virtuous example than the writing of Saints Peter and Paul, her maidenly apparel making the ladies of the court ashamed to be dressed and painted like peacocks.”
― David Starkey, Elizabeth: The Struggle for the Throne

“We tend to think of the Norman Conquest as the turning point in the history of England. But the Saxon Conquest was even more important, since it created both the reality and the idea of England itself.”
― David Starkey, Crown and Country: A History of England through the Monarchy
