Queen Elizabeth I - a male monarch!?

(1/3) > >>

Tahsina:
In his book, The King's Deception, published in March, Steve Berry - an American author proves that the Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled from 1558 to 1603, was not only an imposter, but male.

Berry claims the real Elizabeth died of fever when she was 10 years old. Her governess, Lady Kat Ashley, and guardian, Thomas Parry, were apparently responsible for replacing Elizabeth with a boy from the Cotswold village of Bisley, in Gloucestershire. King Henry VIII, who had barely seen his daughter and was already suffering from severe health problems of his own, was apparently fooled when he visited her.

Very interesting information!!!!!!!!at the same time sounds very mysterious!!!

Tahsina:
Yes! I was surprised too! But you know, historians/researchers keep doing these things with us, muddling our perceptions with these new discoveries. You have debates about Shakespeare's existence too.  ;D

Tahsina:
 BTW, Elizabeth is one of my favorite historical figures. She has this famous statement about herself, "I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too" in a speech to the troops at Tilbury. Fascinating!

Here's an image of the 'queen'  :)
