28. Is
it true that the real Elizabeth died in childhood and was secretly replaced
with a servant boy?
This story derives
from a legend known as the Bisal Boy. It can be found in the book Bess
by Constance Pratt.
It is extremely unlikely
to be true. In all likelihood, it's just another tale to explain why, when
she could have had her pick of men, the Queen did not marry, and how, being
a "mere woman", she was such a political genius.
