There are just 6 days to go until my online event “Elizabeth I: The Life of Gloriana, the Virgin Queen” starts!
One of our 8 historians and experts is Dr Tracy Borman. Her talk is based on her best selling book, “Elizabeth’s Women”, and she will explore the fascinating relationships that Elizabeth I had with the women who influenced her most. From her scandalous mother, Anne Boleyn, to her greatest rival, Mary Queen of Scots, and the ‘flouting wenches’ who served her at court, they show Elizabeth in a surprising new light.
Tracy’s talk will go live on the event website on Friday 9th September and she will be answering event participants’ questions in a live Q&A on Monday 19th September.
