Two books are placed side by side on a wooden surface. The book on the left is titled *The Dissolution of the Monasteries: A New History* by James G. Clark. The cover is predominantly white with a red illustration at the top and bottom. The book on the right is titled *The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England, 1400-1580* by Eamon Duffy. The cover features an image of a religious figure with a halo, wearing a red and green garment, against a background that appears to be a worn fresco.

The "Darnley Portrait" of Elizabeth I of England. It was named after a previous owner. Probably painted from life, this portrait is the source of the face pattern called "The Mask of Youth" which would be used for authorized portraits of Elizabeth for decades to come. Recent research has shown the colours have faded. The oranges and browns would have been crimson red in Elizabeth's time.

Within a few years, Mary was dead, and the Protestant Queen Elizabeth I took the throne. England would never return to Catholic rule.

My review of Sarah Bastow's fascinating study of Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York (1576-88), is out with The Sixteenth Century Journal. It is a great read that unravels the life of an oft-overlooked figure...
