Book Overview

Fragmenta Regalia is a book written by Paul Hentzner in the 17th century. It is a travelogue that chronicles the author's journey to England in 1598. The book provides a detailed account of his experiences in England, including his observations of the country's customs, culture, and people. Hentzner's descriptions of the sights and sounds of London, its buildings and landmarks, and the lifestyles of its inhabitants are vivid and informative. The book also includes a section on the court of Queen Elizabeth I, where Hentzner was granted an audience. He provides a fascinating account of the Queen's daily routine, her courtiers, and the workings of the court. The book is an important historical document that offers a unique insight into life in England during the Elizabethan era. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, travel, and culture.The principal note of her reign will be, that she ruled much by faction and parties, which she herself both made, upheld, and weakened, as her own great judgment advised; for I do dissent from the common and received opinion, that my Lord of Leicester was ABSOLUTE and ALONE in her GRACE; and, though I come somewhat short of the knowledge of these times, yet, that I may not err or shoot at random, I know it from assured intelligence that it was not so; for proof whereof, amongst many (that could present), I will both relate a story, and therein a known truth, and it was thus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
