who: Elizabeth and Mary Tudor
Where: University at Cambridge, England
What: two sisters catching up
When: soon after this
Even though they were rivals as Elizabeth grew old, when she was a child, Mary was almost a mother to her. It was when she became queen and feared her position that Elizabeth's life was at risk.
How strange it was, that in this era, the roles were almost reversed. Elizabeth in her mid 30s and a well respected professor and Mary a young lady and a student herself.
She gave Mary the location of the closest portkey and directions where to meet her. Now, she was waiting besides one of the center buildings of the university, quite different from how the portraits artists portrayed her: she abandoned the wigs for her natural strawberry blonde hair and instead of gowns she wore a deep brown dress suit with a red brooch. The total effect was simple and yet still grand. |
