It considers the succession question in its entirety, instead of dividing the topic into early or late periods as has been typically the case. Commencing with a consideration of the succession tracts and the laws which governed the succession, this book seeks to examine the matter in terms of its original sixteenth-century context and how the participants of the debate understood the issue. With the succession issue outlined, the main parties of the debate – those being the Queen, her Privy Council and Parliament – are considered in turn, exploring the effect of the succession debate upon English considerations of government and royal prerogative. Elizabeth Tunstall is a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide, Australia. She received a PhD from the University of Melbourne and has published research on Elizabethan England. 1 Introduction -- 2. The Right of Succession -- 3. Elizabeth - The View from the Throne -- 4.
