Join us for a visit to the British Library’s exhibition on the turbulent relationship between Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots. With the threat of conspiracy ever present, communications written in code reveal how Elizabeth used a network of spies to trap and destroy her rival. A dramatic story with a bloody conclusion. The exhibition includes some of the Library’s most exceptional 16th-century manuscripts and printed works including: Elizabeth’s stirring heart and stomach of a king speech; the papal bull excommunicating Elizabeth; and Mary’s 10-page plea for freedom.
We will be treated to an in-depth introduction to the exhibit by the Curator and, following that, you will be able to visit the exhibition at your own pace.
