"Año de Nuestro Señor de 1597. Han pasado diez años desde que la Grande Armada conquistara Inglaterra.
Con la hereje Elizabeth prisionera en la Torre de Londres, Isabel, hija de Felipe II, y Alberto, reinan sobre los ingleses para mayor gloria de España y Roma...! Pero la salud de su Majestad Católica empeora, y los invasores españoles encargan al dramaturgo local William Shakespeare la composición de una obra sobre el Rey Felipe que perdure en la memoria de los siglos. Sin embargo, a Shakespeare, hajo sospecha de servir a los rebeldes ingleses, le es asignado como vigilante el aspirante a escritor, e infalible seductor, el Teniente Lope de Vega".

"La caracterización de los personajes es exquisita; el uso del languaje admirable, y la mezcla de tragedia y comedia de esta novela, sencillamente perfecta". — Paul di Filippo.

"Ruled Britannia" is an alternate history novel by Harry Turtledove, first published in hardcover by New American Library in 2002. The book is set in the years 1597–1598, in an alternate universe where the Spanish Armada is successful in 1588. The Kingdom of England has been conquered and returned to the fold of the Roman Catholic Church under the rule of Queen Isabella, daughter of Philip II of Spain. Queen Elizabeth is deposed and is imprisoned within the Tower of London as her fellow Protestants are burned as heretics by the English Inquisition. The story is seen from the point of view of two famous playwrights: English poet William Shakespeare, and Spanish poet Lope de Vega; supporting characters include contemporaries Christopher Marlowe, Richard Burbage, and Will Kempe.
