Show Notes
Elizabeth I was profoundly shaped by the women around her, and this series will explore these pivotal relationships throughout her life.
Joint Chief Curator Tracy Borman opens our series with Dr Nicola Tallis, and together they explore the young Elizabeth, before she came to the throne. The formative relationships she experienced during this time shaped the queen she would become; her mother Anne Boleyn, her stepmother Katherine Parr, and her sister Mary I.
Read about Elizabeth's Summer with Katherine Parr at Hampton Court, and see the book Elizabeth embroidered as a gift for her stepmother.
This is the first episode in our Elizabeth series where we explore the women who shaped a queen.
