Lady Elizabeth Russell, first known female keeper of a castle, who nearly ruined Shakespeare, & who started riots!! I wrote about her in my book, SHAKESPEARE AND THE COUNTESS (Penguin Books UK), & had fun talking about her in this English Heritage podcast!: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/inspire-…
I loved exploring Elizabeth’s relationship with her favourite stepmother for this newly-released Historic Royal Palaces blog: hrp.org.uk/blog/lady-eliz…
