Not Just the Tudors

How did a child written off by the Tudor court rise to become one of England's most iconic monarchs?
Before she became queen, Elizabeth Tudor was surrounded by scandal, suspicion and deadly intrigue. Born to Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, Elizabeth was a princess by birth, until her mother was executed and her title revoked. Declared illegitimate and caught in a storm of politics, Elizabeth faced threats from all sides.
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Nicola Tallis to trace Elizabeth’s incredible transformation from disgraced daughter to Queen of England.
