Le Secret du Corps d'Élisabeth Ire Que les Portraits Cachaient (Tudors, Angleterre 1600)

The image you know of Elizabeth I is a lie. For over 40 years, the Queen of England presented the world with the image of a woman of eternal youth, porcelain complexion, and fiery red hair. The reality, however, was terrifying. In this immersive documentary, discover the best-kept secret of the Elizabethan era: the physical destruction of the most powerful queen in Europe. From her traumatic childhood (marked by the execution of her mother, Anne Boleyn) to her final days, Elizabeth used her body as a political weapon. But at what cost? Discover the ravages of smallpox, the toxic lead makeup that ate away at her skin, the sugar that blackened and destroyed her teeth, and the wigs used to conceal her hair loss. Delve into the dark side of English palaces, from questionable hygiene to state propaganda, and understand how the Virgin Queen sacrificed her body to become an immortal legend.
