Elizabeth I's Doctor, & Poisoner?
Why was Elizabeth I鈥檚 trusted chief physician executed for treason?
Why was a Portuguese-born Jewish doctor, who rose to become Elizabeth I鈥檚 chief physician, brutally executed for treason in a scandal that shocked England? Was Dr. Rodrigo Lopes truly guilty, or simply caught in the crossfire of anti-Semitism, court rivalries, and empire?
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Samia Errazouki to reexamine Lopes鈥檚 fall, tracing a web of diplomacy, espionage, and identity that stretched from London to Lisbon to Marrakesh.
Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Max Wintle, audio editor is Amy Haddow and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
