Full title:Is this proof the Virgin Queen was an imposter in drag? Shocking new theory about Elizabeth I unearthed in historic manuscripts

A good read for those of us interested in Historical conspiracy.

Nothing about this theory stands up to a moment’s scrutiny.

This is an interesting article.

Sounds like lefties are desperate to find transgenders to add to their revisionist history books. Can’t find one then make one like they tried to do to Lincoln.

This is the only picture I could find of the real Virgin Queen.

Hard to say as most English women look like guys in drag ;)

[Irenic]

Bunch of hooey.

[Popman]

Interesting....for sure the Queen was one ugly "woman"...

The portraits in the article are very revealing...

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

Well, Boy George got away with it for a couple of years.........

What’s an Elizabethan to do? ping....

All I could think of while reading this is: "it's a boy. And somebody said, 'But it hasn't got a winkle!' And then I said, 'A boy without a winkle? God be praised, it's a miracle. A boy without a winkle!' And then Sir Thomas Moore pointed out that a boy without a winkle is a girl."

if this is true, then Nursie was wrong, and Elizabeth did, in fact, have a winkle.

Name that program!

Nope. It requires too many people in the know not saying anything.

Also: the Earl of Oxford wrote all of Shakespeare’s plays.

Quentin Crisp played Elizabeth in a movie. That’s proof enough for me.

‘Elizabeth’s grave has never been breached,’ Berry says. ‘Now it’s time to open it up and see what’s in there.’

When they open it up to satisfy their curiosity, maybe they can do some justice for Mary by burying her separately from Bloody Bess.

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.
