Lead Poisoning Was Her Downfall
Queen Elizabeth I was suffering from hair loss, memory lapses, weariness, and gastric problems in her final year. These are all symptoms of lead poisoning, according to current specialists. Queen Elizabeth I appears to have taken the saying “beauty is pain” to a whole new level, since she continued to use the white lead-laced paint on her face until her death. It was even buried her. The queen’s demise was ultimately due to her vanity and desire to be the most beautiful person in the room.
