She continued, 'After all, there was another cause which would convince your queen and Catherine to pursue a good amity. There was an old acquaintance between your queen's mother and the queen regent, when the former was one of the maids-of-honour of Queen Claude, sister of Renee of France, my own mother-in-law and dear friend to Catherine de Medici herself. They were friendly towards another. There is no reason for Elizabeth and Catherine not to continue that friendship.' The mention of Anne Boleyn stunned the English ambassador; it had never crossed his mind that the reputation of Elizabeth's mother in France could be used as a diplomatic tool to reinforce Anglo-French relations.

#lots of compelling insights from this book #like that the french court suppressed a book which 'slandered' anne boleyn in 1562 #had it been published in the midst of the timeline of marian england #it would not have been considered slander; one imagines..... #estelle paranque #elizabethan #anne boleyn #renee of france #catherine de medici #anyway posting this also bcus some of the HTF reviews have been. annoying #'aha isn't it funny anne had no friends that were women. isn't that telling. aha' #nicholas throckmorton

I really enjoyed Estelle's take on whether Robert and Elizabeth had sex or not. As well as if and when it would have been possible. Kenilworth Castle is a good theory as the Queen was almost never alone at other times. I personally don't think they would've risked going all the way but love supporting the idea that they were intimate in other ways:

Pageants floated along the streets, filled with people acclaiming their new queen. At Gracechurch Street, a pageant portraying both King Henry VIII and Queen Anne Boleyn could be seen by all. Elizabeth was proud of her mother’s lineage and inheritance, and intended to celebrate it, reaffirming Anne’s reputation; in matters of family, Elizabeth bore the same courage and resilience as her mother had done before her.

Her defenders might say it was the years of imprisonment that had caused Mary to plot against Elizabeth, and that she had also been badly served by her mother-in-law Catherine, who might have been interested in her now but had rejected her years before. While this was certainly the case, it was also true that Mary's threat of religious rebellion had been constant. As early as 1568 Mary had pleaded to both Philip Il and his wife - her childhood friend, Elisabeth of Valois- to be rescued so she could 're-establish the ancient and good faith throughout this whole island.” In truth, Mary had never recognised the legitimacy of Elizabeth's claim to the English crown and had always seen herself as the rightful queen of England. It was a title she pursued all her life. While Elizabeth had been reluctant to see her executed, it was almost certainly the case that, had Mary been allowed to survive, it could have been at the expense of Elizabeth's safety.

Elizabeth I & Catherine de Medici with Dr Estelle Paranque

This is such a great analysis of the parallels and interactions between Elizabeth I and Catherine de Medici. As noted in the video, many will position Mary I or Mary, Queen of Scots as Elizabeth’s rival or counterpart, of her contemporaries, Catherine makes more sense to juxtapose Elizabeth given the length of their rule and what they accomplished.

Book Review ╽Blood, Fire & Gold: The Story of Elizabeth I & Catherine de Medici

“One might well wonder what thoughts came into Elizabeth’s mind when she read the letter describing her mother’s death – Elizabeth never forgot her mother or the lessons her death taught her. Cast out of court after Anne’s demise, Elizabeth learned that her life would always be in danger…” Continue reading Untitled

As soon as he arrived, instead of sitting down in the appointed position, he ordered his provost of Paris to find Anne [Boleyn], who was sitting opposite the French contingent. Jean was to offer her the present Francis had brought from Paris: a magnificent diamond, estimated to cost between 10,000 and 15,000 crowns. [The provost] executed the King's orders, and said: 'from my master, the King of France, who finds you as exquisite as ever.'

There was gold everywhere: Elizabeth leaned down on gold cloth cushions laid on a gold carpet for the anointing. Three crowns were placed on her strawberry blonde hair in quick succession, the audience cheering each time. Herself arrayed in gold from head to toe – from the heavy gold of the royal crown now atop her head to her golden shoes – Elizabeth now held the golden sceptre in one gloved hand, the golden orb in the other. With her hair cascading down over her robe, her crown seemed to glow with flames. She was magnificent. Finally, it was time for Elizabeth to embrace her destiny; she walked to the throne on the stage to be acclaimed by her people as their consecrated monarch.

They’ve cast Minnie Driver as Elizabeth I in The Serpent Queen S2 👀

This will probably be a continuation of the ‘MQOS believing she was plotting with Elizabeth’ storyline from S1

#catherine de medici and elizabeth i in this one drama #please keep Estelle Paranque in your thoughts #the serpent queen #elizabeth i #if we don’t got BE at least we’ve got this i guess? #also Arthur from TSP playing Henry of Navarre
