Exactly. Henry wanted a male heir above all of his other unrestrained passions.
Not a chance. Royalty at that time was perhaps the most privacy-free group of them all. She had ladies in waiting who almost never left her side and if she was a dude it would have been known.
Because......obviously a woman is incapable of what Elizabeth achieved?
Not a new theory, I think I first read it about 15 years ago.
I doubt it’s true, but as you said it’s amusing.
She wore the heavy white make up to cover small pox scars. She almost died from small pox. And she had numerous missions with men. She didn’t get married because she didn’t want to give up power to a husband.
More bizarre revisionist history to make trannies feel good.
Sure it’s true because Elizabeth was well known for having the best shaved face amongst her bearded courtiers. At this time in history, if Queen Elizabeth was a male imposter, I’m guessing that it would have been difficult for her to keep her physical male identity undiscovered. No hormone blockers.

And Ann would have kept her head.
Who in the hell thinks up this crazy s**t?
QE1 was really kind of cool. She founded England’s spy school/agency, the Royal Naval Academy, and even schools for the peasantry. She tried, but was unsuccessful, to stop religious persecutions originating from the Church of England.

Uh-oh.
