	Elizabeth of Bohemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elisabeth, Electress Palatine and (briefly) queen of Bohemia (August 19, 1596 – February 13, 1662), born Princess Elizabeth Stuart of Scotland, was born as the eldest daughter to King James VI of Scotland and his Queen consort Anne of Denmark.
		At the time of Elizabeth's birth, her father was still the King of Scotland only; a few years later, he succeeded Elizabeth I as - additionally - King of England and Ireland, making his daughter an even more attractive bride.
		Part of the intent of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was to put the nine year old Elizabeth onto the throne of England (and, presumably, Scotland) as a Catholic monarch, after assassinating her father and the Protestant English aristocracy.

	Borders - Feature - "The past keeps becoming relevant to the present": A Conversation with Jane Stevenson
		Because, when the last of James II's daughters died (Queen Anne), the English reached back to Elizabeth of Bohemia, the sister of Charles I. George I, the first so-called "Hanoverian" king of England, was Elizabeth of Bohemia's grandson, by her youngest daughter.

		So the next thing was to research Elizabeth of Bohemia and find out what she was like, and then imagine a fl man who she might have fallen in love with.
