Alison Weir & Nicola Tallis
Sisters and Rivals: Mary I & Elizabeth I.
As heiresses of Henry VIII, bound by the bond of bastardy, and the daughters of warring mothers, Mary I and Elizabeth I were almost destined to be rivals. Despite loving Elizabeth as a child, Mary came to fear and resent her, and to deplore her embracing the Protestant faith.
Bestselling historian Alison Weir and acclaimed biographer Nicola Tallis discuss the ties that bound the sisters, the issues that divided them and explore the extraordinary events that led to Elizabeth’s imprisonment in the Tower, where she expected daily to be summoned to the scaffold. Chaired by Jo Durrant.
