Lives of the Queens of England Volume 5, The by Agnes Strickland (1796 - 1874) and Elisabeth Strickland (1794 - 1875)

The Lives of the Queens of England is a multi-volumed work attributed to Agnes Strickland, though it was mostly researched and written by her sister Elisabeth. These volumes give biographies of the queens of England from the Norman Conquest in 1066. Although by today's standards, it is not seen as a very scholarly work, the Stricklands used many sources that had not been used before. Volume 5 includes the biographies of Katharine Parr and Mary I. (Summary by Ann Boulais)
