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 ten includes the biography of Mary Beatrice of Modena (consort of James II), from 1701 to her death in 1718, and Mary II (joint sovereign with William III), through 1688. (Summary by Ann Boulais)
