Young Elizabeth: Becoming a Queen with Nicola Tallis (ep 185)
Before she was Gloriana, celebrating her victory over the Spanish Armada; before she was the Virgin Queen, revered in England and across Europe; before she was the longest reigning Tudor monarch, she was just young Elizabeth. Dr Nicola Tallis shares the journey of the young princess and how her early trials and turmoil prepared her to take the throne as the final, and some say greatest, Tudor.

Customer Reviews
A thorough take on Tudor topics
Carol Ann Lloyd knows her stuff, has intriguing topics, and top notch guests to talk about them. Her guests obviously have a good time and so does this listener. I find her a great companion to Not Just the Tudors for a different take on that period.
Who is this podcast for?
Fabulous content. However, the narrator is clearly reading - and reading far too quickly as she stumbles over her words and there’s no post-production to fix pronunciation and other errors. She’s so animated, you’d think the presentation was intended for grade school children. “Shake up history” all you want, but it doesn’t need to be juvenile as you do so! 4 stars for content, 1 for presentation so overall a 3. Done better, I’d give it a 5. Pity.
Meh
Great content. Horrible narrator. She’s really hard to listen to.
