Did the article Janet Arnold do on the Efigy corset give dimensions? I remember asking Drea about it...hmmm..old brain condition prevents me from recalling. I would think that you could work out a realistic height and waist measurement from that. Otherwise, I have never heard specific weight and heights given for Elizabeth....I'd like to see this too.
Sg ----- Original Message ----- Where did you get the information about Elizabeth's size? I have always been given to understand that, as her genetic inheritance was Tudor/Plantagenet, and her forebears were tall, that she was at least of average height and build, and even for Tudor times, 4'10" is small. I am sure that there are descriptions from the Spanish Ambassador that give the lie to the size you quote - I don't have my Arnold to hand to find the exact wording.
