After Elizabeth, the Death of Elizabeth and the coming of King James with Leanda de Lisle
Description
As Elizabeth I approached the end of her life, the constant topic of conversation was who would be her successor. Her ministers all had their own opinions, often varying, while Elizabeth herself never truly confirmed who her own preferred candidate was, but, in the end, it was the Scottish king, King James VI, who was selected to follow in her footsteps, so how did this come about? To discuss this, I am pleased to welcome historian Leanda de Lisle back onto the podcast for a discussion based around her book, after Elizabeth, the death of Elizabeth and the coming of King James. From those final few months of Elizabeth’s life to the journey James made through England, join Leanda and I as we examine the moment when the Tudor dynasty reached its conclusion.
