Yes, it seems that intersex can manifest itself at puberty if not at birth. She left details that her body wasn't to be uncovered even after death .

Cruel as she was, she was in my opinion the strongest monarch England ever had, and all in a time when women were overlooked.
There are reasons why her body must never be looked at even after death.

Yes indeed. Monarchs were greedy, murderous and cruel people.
Great comment.

I have just done a bit of research into intersex, and it seems that 1 in 2000 children are born with it, though it exists to varying degrees. Considering how many children royals have produced it is likely that one or more would be ...

Thanks for this intriguing story. While I still believe she was a she, there are definitely many skeletons in the closets (pun intended) of all royal families.

Frank, .. :) much as I hate to agree with you especially in public, :) my opinion is that Elizabeth 1st was actually intersex. This would account for the fact that she was a female who was bald, shaved daily and would not allow anyone to see ...

Dear BSG
Indeed, The only way we would know was if the tomb of the 2 sisters was examined and our present monarchy who are not descended from Henry 8th are not going to do that.

Had there been plague in the village Henry would not have come to visit, so this sounds like a fiction to me.
Elizabeth, however, might have been intersex.This would make sense of the stories better than the legend.

Is Recycling Worth the Effort?
Here most are cardboard, and a few Styrofoam, or something close to it. But I get eggs at a large warehouse store called Costco. They use transparent plastic, which makes viewing easy to avoid getting cracked eggs. They recycle, but reuse is ...

Is Recycling Worth the Effort?
In the UK egg cartons are made of a kind of cardboard/pressed paper, so they re easily re-used/recycled.
