Episode Elizabeth I: Evil or Genius?
Elizabeth I is often celebrated as one of the greatest English monarchs - but should she be? From her commanding portraits and grand speeches to her brutal suppression of dissent and controversial decisions, we explore whether Elizabeth’s legacy is one of power and stability or one marked by bloodshed and negligence.
Renowned historian Anna Whitelock joins us to delve into the duality of Elizabeth’s reign.
Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore and Matthew Wilson.
