The 'original' OLD QUEENS who shaped our history

Probably one of the most overused words on Queerguru’s are “old queens”. We always seem to be talking about them in all shapes and sizes and all of them think of themselves as ‘real.’ Hmmmmm. Well, this time for once they really are. Real that is.

Five of the UK’s foremost historians on the Tudor period are hosting a day of talks focusing on some of the Queens who shaped our history. They were all extraordinary women who refused to be overshadowed by kings, Mary Tudor and her complex relationship with her father King Henry VIII, the thirteenth-day reign of Lady Jane Grey and find out how, as we near Advent and Christmas, Tudor queens and their court made merriment during the festive season.

The day;s panels include Sarah Gristwood on “Game of Queens: The Women Who Made Sixteenth-Century Europe” and Melita Thomas on The King’s Pearl: Henry VIII and His Daughter Mary
