The podcast from the Chalke Valley History Festival
Released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings
In the popular imagination Elizabeth I is the symbol of monarchical power, the Virgin Queen who ruled over a Golden Age. But the image is as much armour against reality as it is a reflection of the truth. Dr Helen Castor shows England’s iconic queen in a revealing new light, shaped by profound insecurity that was a matter of both practical politics and personal psychology.
