The Haunted Queen: Elizabeth I’s lonely path to right her father’s wrongs

＂’My sister’s ring, ’ I breathe, my voice no more than a whisper, the enormity of this moment weighing heavily upon my conscience. He reaches for me, his new Queen, and my chest becomes heavy with dread.

I have never wanted this.＂

Elizabeth, the daughter to the proclaimed Great Whore, Anne Boleyn, learns early on in life that the throne of England is a dangerous pursuit.

But when her beloved brother and sister die childless and she is left as the only remaining Tudor heir, Elizabeth hardens herself to do her duty. She knows what she must do, though it might cost her her own happiness.

She would become Queen of England and do everything in her power to be remembered gloriously.

Not for the sake of her father’s legacy, but rather for the sake of her mother’s.
