'The bones of Elizabeth I, Good Queen Bess, lie mingled with those of her sister, Bloody Mary, in a single tomb at Westminster Abbey.

Wow!!
No way. There was a huge scandal after King Henry died, that Elizabeth was pregnant by her stepfather, Thomas Seymour, the new husband of Henry’s last wife Catherine Parr.
Also, there was no privacy in those times especially for a royal. There were spies everywhere and there is no way that this secret could have been kept into adulthood. When she was stricken with smallpox, it surely would have been discovered.

Even if a hoax, the blood line was restored with James.
Another attempt by the LGBT crossdresser community to embed themselves in history. The revisionist stuff they teach in school now.
Possibly the most stupid historical theory I’ve ever heard.
Lol! We’re supposed to believe that the most powerful monarch in the world, observed every second for the slightest mistake, could somehow pass as a member of the opposite sex for half a century???
This is nothing more than a morbid justification to open Elizabeth’s tomb and poke around in her mortal remains. And it’s motivated more by ghoulishness and sensationalism than any interest in historical truth.
Transgender organizations getting pretty jazzed about this. Women’s organizations? Not so much.
What? Cate Blanchett is a guy?
Well, that's just because I haven't got started yet. My narrative includes zombies. And Sir Francis Drake on a motorcycle.
A steam-powered motorcycle, right?
So Elizabeth was a male and one of the Pope’s was a female.
Such tales have amused the populace for decades, centuries.
