This Virgin Queen inherited the throne of England in 1558 and ruled for the next 45 years.  Her troubled childhood had made it almost a certainty that she was never going to become the Queen. What changed? How did this queen's early childhood shape her character as a queen? Join us in conversation with Prof. Laura Michele Diener, professor of History at Marshall University who tells us all about early childhood, educational qualifications and how Queen Elizabeth I became the iconic queen. This episode is a part of our series, This Day in History from our inhouse podcast History Over Coffee brought to you by the History department at Marshall University.
