A power-hungry courtier and an impressionable young princess: The Tudor judge got never been more perilous for the young Elizabeth, where rumours had the energy to find out her fate. England, late 1547. King Henry VIII is dead. His 14-year-old little girl, Elizabeth, is living with the king's widow, Catherine Parr, and her new man, Thomas Seymour. Seymour is the brother of Henry VIII's third partner, the late Jane Seymour, who was the mom to the now-ailing guy king. Ambitious and dangerous, Seymour begins an overt flirtation with Elizabeth that ends with Catherine mailing her away. When Catherine dies a season later and Seymour is caught for treason soon after, a scandal explodes. Together and in dreadful threat, Elizabeth is threatened by followers of her half-sister, Mary, who wants to see Britain go back to Catholicism. She is also carefully questioned by the king's regency council due to her place in the type of succession. Was she still a virgin? Was there a child? Had she guaranteed to marry Seymour? Under pressure, Elizabeth shows the shrewdness and spirit she'd later be famous for. She survives the scandal. Thomas Seymour is not so blessed. The "Seymour Scandal" resulted in the creation of the persona of the Virgin Queen. On hearing of Seymour's beheading, Elizabeth noticed, "Today died a man of much wit, and incredibly little view." She would never allow her heart and soul to rule her brain again.
