In September 200o, the BBC documentary, A History of Britain, aired in the United Kingdom.  This fifteen part series was written and hosted by the super awesome historian, Simon Schama.

The chapter I have linked from this series is entitled, The Body of the Queen, which focuses on two uniquely different women:  Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots.

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, and Part Six 

If you would like to watch the entire A History of Britain documentary, please click the link here. 

Enjoy!     🙂
