| 0:00.0 | This week, we begin our journey through royal history with the coronation of Queen Elizabeth |
| 0:06.0 | the First and the Elizabethan era, January 1559. |
| 0:12.5 | The Tudors Dynasty podcast. |
| 0:19.2 | The summer before Queen Mary the First of England's death has been described as very hot. |
| 0:26.9 | But upon her death later that year, the hearts of her Catholic followers were frozen |
| 0:32.6 | by the prospect of the late Queen's sister Elizabeth taking away their religion. Elizabeth's reign is |

| 2:04.5 | others believed would never be. Queen Regnant of England. During her procession, four separate |
| 2:13.0 | pageants entertained Elizabeth, the first focused on her genealogy, making it clear to everyone that Elizabeth |
| 2:21.5 | was English and her sister had been Spanish. No longer was the throne of England tainted by Spain. |
| 2:31.2 | The second pageant showed what to expect of Elizabeth's government, with four virtues consisting of true religion, love of subjects, wisdom, and justice. |
