I grew up in Bangor, North Wales, a small city with over 2000 years of history.  As a child I visited many of the medieval castles of Wales and for as long as I can remember have had a love of history. As a teenager I felt a powerful draw to Tudor history and was privileged to visit many places of Tudor interest while spending summer holidays with my Aunt and Uncle in Hampshire, England. In 1997 I graduated from The University of Wales with a B.A. Honours in History. I then embarked on several years of postgraduate research in Elizabethan History, finally graduating with an M.Phil in Elizabethan History from The University of Wales in 2007. I am now engaged in independent historical research.  

My other interests include literature, theater, music, travel, astronomy, science-fiction, and making web-pages. As well as this site (Elizabethi.org) I also run:

Diva Delights! : A site dedicated to female singers from Classical to Country Music.

Tudors and Stuarts : A site in progress dedicated to Tudor and Stuart History.

Herstoriana : A site in progress dedicated to the achievements of women in history.
