In her most famous speech, delivered on 9 August 1588, Queen
Elizabeth I declared that she had the "heart and stomach of a
king". Was that just rhetoric? Or could England’s iconic Tudor
queen actually have been a man masquerading as a woman? In this
episode of History’s Greatest Conspiracy Theories, Tudor historian
Tracy Borman speaks to Rob Attar about the bizarre 'Bisley Boy'
conspiracy theory that was popularised by none other than Dracula
author Bram Stoker. History’s Greatest Conspiracy Theories is
produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine. For more
