These years under Queen Mary must have been terrifying for her -especially to be sent to the Tower where so many had been tortured and held before execution. You can just feel the fear and desperation in that letter. On the other hand, I can also see it from Marys point of view - her own mother being sidelined and humiliated by Elizabeths mother, herself being declared a bastard, her brother trying to stop her succeeding to the throne. One can understand her own paranoia and why she might fear and hate Elizabeth. It's interesting the two lie side by side in the same tomb in Westminster Abbey. Thanks for a wonderful article which vividly captures this young woman's fears and terrors.WoofWoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142792485921452481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617545316864155046.post-5137667110657072042011-03-18T23:16:29.521-04:002011-03-18T23:16:29.521-04:00What an amazing recounting of very dramatic events...What an amazing recounting of very dramatic events. Even knowing how the story ends, I was kept on the edge of my seat! A wonderful tribute to a great queen whose influence we are still feeling today.
