On the 24th March 1603 inside of Richmond Palace, one of England’s greatest Queens died at the age of 69. She was the woman who would execute her own cousin who was an anointed Queen, and she would also see off the biggest threats to England of the 16th century. Elizabeth I was a woman who was sick a number of times throughout her life, and she was a Queen who despite being incredibly powerful was haunted by bouts of crippling self doubt with regards to her looks. She would be scarred from smallpox heavily on her face, and despite surviving the deadly disease when she was younger she would be possibly killed by the efforts she made to cover up these scars. For the real cause of Elizabeth I’s death has been debated by historians for centuries, but there could have been one way that she may have prevented her death and it related to the heavy makeup that she wore. But what is the story of Elizabeth I’s cause of death?

The REAL Cause Of Elizabeth I's Death

One of the most successful Queens in History was Queen Elizabeth I. The final Tudor Monarch would achieve brilliant victory against the Spanish Armada, which at the time was the most feared naval fleet the world had ever seen. She would manage to sort out a number of problems inside of her Kingdom, and she also had a rather brutal side. She would sentence Mary Queen of Scots to death, and she would executed a number of other prominent people including some of her favourites. To many people at the time, they believed their Queen was immortal, and she was known as Gloriana however as the 1600s came around, she was becoming increasingly more frail. One thing that has not been cleared up though is what killed the final Tudor Monarch, and there are a number of interesting ideas as to what was the final cause of Elizabeth I’s death. But what is the story of this?

Pale white skin was the signature look for the upper class in the Elizabethan era and Queen Elizabeth I’s makeup was perhaps one of the most iconic examples. But what was IN all that caked on makeup? Turns out, there was quite a cost for that noble, porcelain skin as the makeup contained lead. The price for beauty? Slowly poisoning yourself. Yikes.
