Date: 29 November, 2019
A manuscript written by Queen Elizabeth I has been discovered after lying unnoticed for more than a century.
A literary historian from the University of East Anglia made the startling find in Lambeth Palace Library in London.
He turned detective to piece together a series of clues to establish that the queen was the author of the writings.
The work is a translation of a book in which the Roman historian Tacitus wrote of the benefits of monarchical rule.
