Lettice Knollys (8 November 1543 – 25 December 1634) was the first cousin once-removed of Queen Elizabeth I (on the Boleyn side). Lettice was also basically the Queen's younger, prettier lookalike which you know Elizabeth didn't like. And THEN Lettice secret sexy married to the Queen's boyfriend, dirtbag Robert Dudley, and that's just the BEGINNING of this remarkable woman's tits out life. How many people named "Robert" are in this story? A LOT. And how will Lettice score on the scandilicious scale???

Today in 1578 Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, married Lettice Knollys. Ever since the death of his wife, Amy Robsart, under suspicious circumstances a decade and a half earlier, Dudley had been trying to convince Queen Elizabeth to marry him. He even staged the two week long series of pageants and parties at Kenilworth in 1575 to try one last time to convince her. And though they were likely deeply in love with each other, she never did marry him.

Merry Christmas! A very Happy Christmas to you and yours! In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, explains how Tudor people would have celebrated Christmas, before moving on to today's "on this day" event, the death of Lettice Blount (also known as Lettice Devereux, Lettice Dudley and Lettice Knollys). Not only did she serve Queen Elizabeth I as a gentlewoman of the privy chamber, she was also the queen's first cousin once removed, and was nicknamed the "she-wolf" by her royal mistress.

As a lover of history, I was delighted to catch up with Nicola at this year's Emirates Literature Festival. We talked about the Tudor period in general, and then dived deeper into various pivotal characters of the era... Did you know that Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for 13 days and then executed at the age of 17? Shocking stuff. Nicola’s first book, Crown of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey, was published in 2016 after five years of research. Her more recent book, Elizabeth’s Rival: The Tumultuous Tale of Lettice Knollys, Countess of Leicester, is the first biography of the extraordinary and scandalous Tudor lady. Lettice Knollys was Queen Elizabeth's cousin and she went on to marry the love of Elizabeth's life, Robert Dudley. In secret. What happened next surprised me...

NICOLA TALLIS joined S.T. Patrick to discuss one of the greatest losses of Queen Elizabeth I's life - that of her favorite suitor Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. Elizabeth didn't lose him to death. She lost him to another woman, Lettice Knollys. Who was Lettice Knollys and why did the Earl choose her over the Queen? What was Elizabeth's reaction? Why did Elizabeth choose a life and a reign that would be conducted alone? In the final thoughts, S.T. Patrick discusses how we look at affairs historically and today.

Historian and author Nicola Tallis explores the life of Lettice Knollys, who was a leading figure at the Tudor court until she enraged the Virgin Queen by marrying her favourite, Robert Dudley See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
