With Dr Anna Whitelock, Senior Lecturer in early modern history at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Elizabeth I acceded to the throne in 1558. At the heart of the new queen’s court lay Elizabeth’s bedchamber, closely guarded by the favoured women who helped her dress, looked after her jewels and shared her bed.
