Description

Elizabeth I and her half sister Mary Tudor were buried together in one vault in Westminster Abbey. A poignant inscription on their tomb reads: "Partners both in throne and grave, here rest we two sisters Elizabeth and Mary." This unusual arrangement has often sparked discussion about the relationship between Elizabeth and her Scottish cousin Mary Stuart, while the bond between Elizabeth and her own half sister is less well-known. The connection between Elizabeth and Mary Tudor was pivotal in shaping Elizabeth's personality and setting her on the path to queenship. Mary's reign was a dark period in Elizabeth's life, with her sister expressing concern for her safety during this time. It is now time to tell the story of the fierce rivalry between these two half sisters who became their father's successors. This book explores the often-overlooked relationship between Elizabeth I and her own half sister, Mary Tudor, shedding new light on a pivotal period in English history.
