NICOLA TALLIS
11th October 2024, 7:30pm
Join us on Friday 11th October for a special evening event as Nicola Tallis celebrates her latest book, ‘Young Elizabeth’ with us at Alnwick Castle!

Queenship was by no means a certain path for Henry VIII’s younger daughter - by the time she claimed the throne, she had already endured more tumult than many monarchs experienced in a lifetime. This colourful and detailed biography charts Elizabeth’s turbulent upbringing, exploring the dangers and tragedies that plagued her early life, drawing on primary sources written by Elizabeth herself to shed new light on this iconic queen.

Following the talk, Nicola will be answering audience questions and signing copies of ‘Young Elizabeth’.
