Queen Mary the First

small pox, sore throat, what in the world
Died at twenty-nine, died at seventy
So many stories about the virgin queen
Elizabeth the 1st, you remain a secret today
You did make House of Tudor go away.

Can Elizabeth 1 make Buckingham Palace disappear -- oh, and Prince Harry and Megan Markle too? If so, let's conduct a seance! ~ Just sayin'

Not sure a seance will get rid of "living"s.

I don't know much about Elizabeth I, Caren. I'm not sure movies about her have been accurate. She must have been quite a character.

If you research her you find all kinds of weird things.
