Eastbury Manor House talks

The Virgin Queen

Tuesday 10 September 2013, 7pm to 9pm

Eastbury Manor House, Eastbury Square, Barking, Essex IG11 9SN

Tracy Borman, author and historian, will be here to talk about Elizabeth's Women: the Hidden Story of the Virgin Queen (2009). From her bewitching mother, Anne Boleyn, to her dangerously obsessive sister, Mary Tudor, and from the rivals to her throne such as Mary, Queen of Scots to the 'flouting wenches' like Lettice Knollys, Borman will reveal through their eyes the real Elizabeth, stripped of her carefully cultivated image.

Admission: £5 per person, with cheese and wine. Booking required
