Is this proof the Virgin Queen was an imposter in drag?

I never thought about that.

Now she was dead, and when the king discovered it, Parry and Lady Ashley would surely be executed. Their sole duty had been to keep the princess safe: failure was treason. ... They would be bound and dragged through the mud for a mile to the scaffold. There they would be hanged, cut down and disembowelled. Their entrails would be hauled from their bodies and held in front of their faces as they died, and then their limbs would be hacked off and displayed on spikes, to be picked bare by the birds.

Oh, nonsense.

Royal children died all the time. Like everybody else's kids. AFAIK, there is no incident in English history where the child's guardians were executed for it.

Female traitors were not executed in this way, out of respect for modesty. They were burned alive instead.

'She described herself as a Virgin Queen, and vowed she would never take a husband, even if the Emperor of Spain offered her .. his oldest son.'

Well heck, who can blame her?

She knew that the moment they were married he'd bring his whole dang family over --- and there goes England.

I was remiss at the time this was pinged to not point out that this Bisley Boy story showed up 40+ years ago in National Geographic, in an article about the Cotswolds, probably I read it in the compilation hardcover "This England".
