Elizabeth was often portrayed as manipulative and self-centered. How does this compare to other portrayals we have seen in movies or read in other books (fiction or non-fiction)? Does it ring true?

I thought the portrayal was interesting. She was bolder than I had seen her portrayed before and more reckless. Her actions with Thomas Seymour were very dangerous. I was wondering if it didn't actually matter whether or not she was a virgin but only that she could claim to be. And no one would want to deny her virginity. Sometimes historical novels leave facts ambiguous. This novel didn't hedge when describing
Elizabeth's actions.
