In the first episode of History Gems, Dr Nicola Tallis is joined by author, historian and joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces, Dr Tracy Borman, to discuss Elizabeth I, one of her favourites who betrayed her, and a jewel that connects the two - the Essex Ring.
Nicola and Tracy also delve deep into the fascinating story of the Chequers Ring and explore the worst rebellion in history (spoiler: it involved a lunch break mid-rebellion).
