We all think we know everything we need to know about Elizabeth the first, but is that true?
Was she actually Gloriana , the Virgin Queen ruling over her people in a Golden Age for England , or did she just have excellent PR?
Could she claim any credit for defeating the Spanish Armada or did her admirals just get a lucky break?
How difficult was it to order the execution of her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots?
What was it like being visited by Liz on one of her royal processions and were you broke afterwards?
These questions and many more are investigated and answered during these fascinating talk with audience participation and a true or false quiz at the end!

I am a Business Studies graduate, now retired from the motor industry who always thought he would have made a good history teacher. I passed on my love of the subject to my daughter and she became one!
Interested in all historical periods I am passionate about ridding the subject of its stuffy image by providing well researched and illustrated Power Point presentations on subjects that provoke discussion and debate, which audience members are encouraged to do.
Always with an eye on bringing history to life, the talks where possible, describe ways more information can be obtained on the subject matter, including museums, tours or immersive experiences.
My talks can be short at 45 minutes but can be increased to an hour or more if required.
For the calculation of travel expenses my home base is in Brackley, post code NN13 .
