'The Winter Queen'



A portrait of Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of King James VI of Scotland (and later James I of England), by Robert Peake.

In 1613, Elizabeth married Frederick V of the Palatinate. Later he became King of Bohemia, but after only one winter, he was deposed. Because of this, Elizabeth has romantically been called 'The Winter Queen'.
