In the 16th century having a crown on your head didn’t mean you were safe from prison or the axe.

A wary Queen Elizabeth lived in a world of shifting alliances between royal families and religious factions, and she turned to her ladies of the bedchamber to share confidences and comfort. The Queen’s Bed follows the life of the Virgin Queen in a world obsessed with her body and her flirtations at court, and focuses on the women who cared for and protected her from the people who wanted her heart or her head.
