Dark Side of Elizabeth I

The end of Elizabeth I's life was shrouded in darkness and plots as powerful figures circled her throne. How did Elizabeth hold off contenders reaching for the crown? And did James VI & I steal it in the end?

Our guest today is Dr Tracy Borman whose new book The Stolen Crown: Treachery, Deceit and the Death of the Tudor Dynasty is out now.

Edited by Tom Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
