DYK #ElizabethI was hostile to men who had #QueerSex even as she broke #gender rules? She did promote #FrancisBacon (d.1626) even though she knew he liked boys. She even let his notoriously gay brother, Anthony, lurk about—as long as he kept a low profile. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

#ElizabethI (d.1603) was proud to wash once a month, “whether I need it or not”. #JamesI only washed his fingers. French kings of the time, #HenriIV (d.1610) & his son #LouisXIII (d.1643) were equally unclean. As Louis said, “I take after my father, I smell of the armpits.”

#RobertDudley became Earl of Leicester

#ElizabethI had a cunning plan, a title made him more worthy as a suitor for #MaryQueenofScots tho neither were keen!

An attempt to control Mary, instead she married her cousin #HenryStuart #LordDarnley which didn't end well

Whether as ‘Gloriana’ or ‘Good Queen Bess’ #ElizabethI is one of England’s most iconic monarchs, but did her gender shape her reign?
