The woman who would be Queen - Elizabeth Stuart, First Daughter of Scotland

The woman who would be Queen -Elizabeth Stuart, First Daughter of Scotland and her claim to the British throne, plus eating on the railways. With Susan Morrison.

Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia- the Scottish princess born in Dunfermline who could have become Elizabeth I of Scotland and II of England is the subject of Dr Nadine Akkerman’s book. Susan Morrison asks Nadine how close to the thrones of Britain this remarkable woman got and about her sometimes stormy relationship with her brother, the future Charles I. Leaping ahead in time, we hit the railways and discover the perils of scoffing on your commute Dickensian-style. Chloe Shields of the University of Strathclyde has the low down on fashionable Victorian maladies and the dining car.
