December 25 - Christmas Day and Lettice Knollys

Merry Christmas! A very Happy Christmas to you and yours!
 
In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, explains how Tudor people would have celebrated Christmas, before moving on to today's "on this day" event, the death of Lettice Blount (also known as Lettice Devereux, Lettice Dudley and Lettice Knollys). Not only did she serve Queen Elizabeth I as a gentlewoman of the privy chamber, she was also the queen's first cousin once removed, and was nicknamed the "she-wolf" by her royal mistress. Find out more about Lettice Knollys in today's talk.
