I remember that Antonia Fraser claims in her biography of Mary Queen of Scots that Mary (who I assumed was the "cousin" of Elizabeth referred to) was nearly 6 feet tall (5' 11', or something like that). However, I don't remember what Fraser's alleged source was. -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "You affect the world by what you browse."-- Tim Berners-Lee _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
