Tracy Borman: The Royal Lie That Started a War

Succession meets the 17th century English monarchy in historian and novelist Tracy Borman’s revealing new book The Stolen Crown, which puts forward that Queen Elizabeth I didn’t, in fact, name King James VI of Scotland as her deathbed successor – a lie which led to England’s descent into civil war within half a century under the Stuart’s rule. In this launch event, enjoy an hour of historical intrigue, deception, and chaos with the author of Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I.
