In this exploration, we analyze the potential consequences of a reign absent of her influence. How would the political landscape of England and its relationship with Europe have shifted? Our hosts will discuss the implications for the Protestant Reformation, the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and the flourishing of the arts during the Elizabethan era. Join us as we construct a narrative where the absence of this formidable monarch reshapes the course of English history and beyond. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
