The Not so Golden Years of Elizabeth

By Rob Snow

Rob is one of our regular members and last year talked to us about Mary Tudor. This year he will explore the Not so Golden Years of Elizabeth the First, Mary’s half-sister. They were both daughters of Henry VIII, though Mary was the daughter of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, while Elizabeth was the daughter of his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Mary was also Elizabeth’s immediate predecessor on the throne and designated her as her heir.
