Thank you for such a brilliant documentary! Today´s episode, however, mentioned Elizabeth´s fear of childbirth showing a picture and verbal reference to her stepmother Katherine Parr, Henry´s last wife and the one that survived him. I don´t think that this reference makes any sense: it should have been Jane Seymour, because she was the one who had died after having given birth to Elizabeth´s younger brother Edward. Elizabeth very likely remembered this horrible untimey death that might have installed the fear of giving birth in her.
