Becoming Elizabeth

With Henry VIII dead; his children; Mary; Elizabeth and Edward find themselves pawns in a game for control of this new England.

Elizabeth is caught between her Catholic sister Mary; and Catherine and Thomas; as Mary demands she leave and side with her against Edward.

The Lord Protector’s plan for peace between the siblings only causes Catherine and Thomas to accelerate their own.

The aftermath of the party has left Elizabeth alone and amongst strangers; and terrified of anyone discovering the truth of what went on in Chelsea.

Elizabeth’s successful return to court and favour is threatened as she is approached with a reckless plan.

Both Elizabeth and Somerset face the consequences of Thomas’ actions whilst Mary finds that she is the only family that the king can now trust.

There is a new Lord Protector and Mary and Elizabeth both find themselves at the mercy of the new regime and their zealous little brother.

The king is sick and the court that made an enemy of Catholics now face the possibility of being ruled by one as Mary rides to Whitehall.
