her father whose memory was highly regarded by his subjects .
Well, she would have spoken Spanish to her brother-in-law. Mary probably spoke Spanish to Philip as well, come to think of it. I wonder if her mother, Catherine of Aragon, taught her Spanish. I'm thinking the Greek was more for reading old texts in the original language than for conversing.Catherine did teach Mary Spanish, but I've also read that by the time Mary was an adult, she could understand Castellano (the Spanish Philip spoke) but couldn't speak it herself. It'd be quite strange if Elizabeth could speak Spanish but Mary couldn't! I think Philip and Mary mostly spoke to each other in French. Do you know anything about Mary's level of Spanish, umigon? I know it's off topic, but humour me for a moment.
I think that this is true, but then again it sounds to me like a rumour.What exactly do you mean? You think it's true, but you also think it's a rumour? ;-)
The only film about Elizabeth I that came close to getting it right was the Glenda Jackson one...
A certain lovely person (who knows who she is ) got me the Glenda Jackson series on DVD for my birthday, I look forward to watching it!
Liam, enjoy! I think you will like it. Happy b-day! And Kim, you're an angel :-)
