Summary
Queen Elizabeth I was all too happy to play on courtly conventions of gender when it suited her 'weak and feeble woman's body' to do so for political gain. Historian Lisa Hilton offers evidence of why those famous words should not be taken at face value. With new research, her fresh interpretation is of a queen who saw herself primarily as a Renaissance prince and used Machiavellian statecraft to secure that position
