  • Elizabeth I: A Study in Insecurity
  • The Great Hall
  • Friday 5 October
  • 18.00–19.00

In her talk, Helen will take a new look at England’s iconic Tudor queen to show how Elizabeth I’s life and reign were shaped by profound and enduring insecurity – an insecurity which was a matter of both practical political reality and deeply personal psychology.
