Anglo-German Relations and the Protestant CauseElizabethan Foreign Policy and Pan-Protestantism\nAuthor(s): David S. Gehring\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Pickering & Chatto (Publishers) Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781848933699, 978-1848933699\nSynopsis\nChallenging accepted notions of Elizabethan foreign policy, Gehring argues that the Queen?s relationship with the Protestant Princes of the Holy Roman Empire was more of a success than has been previously thought. Based on extensive archival research, he contends that the enthusiastic and continual correspondence and diplomatic engagement between Elizabeth and these Protestant allies demonstrate a deeply held sympathy between the English Church and State and those of Germany and Denmark.
