Elizabeth I - Her Childhood and Formative Years

WARNING: THIS CLIP INCLUDES LANGUAGE WHICH DESCRIBES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HENRY VIII AND ANNE BOLEYN. IT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUNG EARS. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

This clip, from David Starkey's four-part series Elizabeth, focuses on the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn and the life she led as a child. Included are scenes which recreate the little girl's reaction to her mother's death, her own change in status (as a result), her education and her relationship with her father.

The series is based, in part, on Starkey's book Elizabeth, The Struggle for the Throne.
