Alright, it took us 3 tries to get this epoisode recorded.  A few major news stories broke out during that time, and everything feels like it's on fire.  So, what better time to talk about the Virgin Queen?  We're starting with Elizabeth's early years; her mother's beheading, being disinherited at age 3, trying to earn her place in court, and what happens when King dad dies, and you're no where near the throne.....   FOLLOW THE SOCIALS instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wellbehavedwomenpodcast/ threads:  @wellbehavedwomenpodcast facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellbehavedwomenpodcast reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/WellBehavedWomen/ tiktok: @wellbehavedwomenpod   Image Credit: "Elizabth 1 circa 1565" by Levina Teerlinc - source from Wikimedia Commons Hosted on Acast.

When you were a kid, did you every try to evoke the legend of Bloody Mary?  Standing in a dark bathroom, you say her name 3 times, turn around, and she'll be right in the mirror to cause a heart attack.  Ring a bell? Well .... what if we told you that one of Bloody Mary's inspiration is our own Queen Mary the first of England!  But, she didn't pop up in your bathroom ... we'll get into all that.    Image credits: "Queen Mary I of England..."  from Wikimedia  image link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Queen_Mary_I_of_England_Wellcome_V0048336.jpg   Hosted on Acast.

Alright everyone, it's time to don your corsets and take your weekly bath, we're heading back to Tudor England!  When we last left Mary, her father had passed and a there was a new King in Town - her MUCH  younger brother and godson, and faith-rival, Edward (the 6th).  A boy king on the throne, what could go wrong?  A boy king with a VERY different faith, who was scared of Mary - I repeat - WHAT COULD GO WRONG???
