Sotheby's Talk | Battle of the Queens: Queen Elizabeth I vs Queen Victoria

#AntiqueAuction"Which of these two monarchs was the greater: Elizabeth I, who survived in a man’s world through her shrewd intelligence, religious tolerance and refusal to dilute her power by marrying? Or Victoria, who salvaged the monarchy after a succession of incompetent Georgian kings and who by embracing marriage and motherhood, set an example that our own queen and royal family have followed to this day? Join us as two celebrated historians battle it out on behalf of their chosen queen, while leading actors bring it all to life with readings from the queens’ letters, diaries and speeches.
