It Didn’t Look Great For The Queen
Things didn’t look good for the beloved queen for a while. The queen’s followers were concerned she wouldn’t make it as her illness worsened, to the point where her voice stopped working. There was nothing doctors could do to help her condition because there was no cure or even treatment. Of course, that didn’t stop them from doing everything they could to help the queen.

Smallpox was supposed to be contracted when a person’s body had a “imbalance of humors” at the time. In the case of Queen Elizabeth I, her doctor believed she needed to be wrapped in a red cloth to rid her body of the scarlet sores. The heat and discomfort will finally go away. The queen, on the other hand, was appalled by the prospect of being scarred and disfigured for the rest of her life.
