The whole programme is really worth a watch. The first two thirds of the programme deal with the fates of Lady Jane Grey and Mary. This is excellent context to our course, and provides and insight to the problems of gender and religion at the start of Elizabeth&#8217;s reign. However,\u00a0from 40 minutes and ten seconds the programme deals directly with Elizabeth. It again looks at the issues of gender, religion (and marriage). This is helpful for us because it shows how they link together. It then goes on to look at Elizabeth as a war leader, and provides\u00a0excellent examples of Elizabeth&#8217;s skills as a political oritor. At the time of her death, it also asks the question what did Elizabeth have to scarifice to become the most successful female Tudor ?<\/p>\n<p>As such, it is a thoughtful\u00a0and original overview, and particualrly useful for the study of Unit One. Have a look for yourself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kydd<\/p>\n<p>STOP PRESS &#8211; I have also ordered a copy of Dr Castor&#8217;s book for the school library.
