Queen Elizabeth I's Astronomer, John Dee

Dr. John Dee was the quintessential Renaissance Man. Much misunderstood, he is perhaps most remembered for his impact on western esotericism. He was the man tasked with consulting the stars to find the most propitious day for Queen Elizabeth I's coronation. He was one of the most accomplished scholars of his time and credited with inventing the idea of a "British Empire." The life of John Dee is history that deserves to be remembered.
