Please forgive my morbid curiousity, but in the 500 years since the death of Queen Elizabeth I has her tomb ever been opened or the body examined ? I’d like to know how she was dressed , and if any jewells were burried with her ? Thank-you
Were any of the films made over the years about the Tudors ever filmed at the actual spots? If so do they have to get Queen Elizabeth’s permission to shoot in the actual locations?
In Raymond Lamont-Browns’s book “How Fat was Henry VIII, he mentions the story that Robert Dudley and Elizabeth actually had a son together-named Arthur and when he was 5 years old was sent to Kat Ashley’s husband to be educated! Do you think most historians think this story is actually plausible, since Elizabeth was know at the “Virgin Queen”?
Happy New Year!
