About this listen

Their affair is the scandal of Europe…Queen Elizabeth cannot resist her dashing but married Master of Horse, Lord Robert Dudley. Many believe them to be lovers. The formidable young Queen is regarded by most as a bastard and a heretic, yet many seek her hand in marriage.

Desperately insecure, Elizabeth embarks on a perilous balancing act, using sex and high-powered diplomacy to play what becomes known as The Marriage Game.

A bit repetitive although probably true to it's work...Will go and listen to the lady Elizabeth now to hear about her younger years.

Unfortunately the narrator has a severe lisp making the character of Elizabeth sound like a comedic rendition of Elizabeth from Black adder.
