I was tagged for this challenge by @j-swin79.
I have a terrible time picking my favorites, so this is certainly not exhaustive nor the same set I’d pick next week, but I’m trying to be more decisive about these things. Lol.
In the spirit of sharing the existential horror of having to choose, I tag @karasbroken @scorpsik @pixelatedmonarch @fuckyeahclaudiablack @triralph

Is it true that there were no bonfires for Elizabeth's birth in 1533? Alison Weir said there wasn't but doesn't give the source.
Well, it's true that Chapuys said there wasn't:
The Lady's daughter has been christened Elizabeth, not Mary, as I wrote in my last despatch. The christening ceremony was as dull and disagreeable (mial playcante) as the mother's coronation. Neither at Court, nor at this city of London, nor elsewhere has there been the bonfires, illuminations, and rejoicings customary on such occasions.
However, this report is contradicted by Charles Wriothesley ("the morrowe after their was fires made in London, and at every fire a vessell of wyne for people to drinke for the said solemnitie"), the report of the French ambassador, and by Lancelot de Carles three years later.
While Anne and Henry had hoped for a son, the birth was nonetheless celebrated: Te Deums were sung, letters announcing the successful birth dispatched far and wide, and a grand christening planned for 10 September. This was another spectacular occasion, with bonfires and free wine in London, and Elizabeth was escorted from the ceremony by over five hundred torches. As the French ambassador noted, 'the whole occasion was so perfect that nothing was lacking.'

Although—once queen—Elizabeth is often accused of acting unfairly, even vindictively, towards all her royal cousins, Margaret was accorded great honour and kindness during the first twenty-two years of the reign.10 Elizabeth chose to have her cousin regularly in attendance upon her at court, ‘being nere in blood to us’, and Lady Strange usually bore the queen’s train during processions, while ‘all the other ladies followed in their degrees’. After Margaret had separated from her husband and was financially embarrassed, Elizabeth tried several times to help her out.

Ladies-in-Waiting and Maids-of-Honor (Europe, but Mainly England)
*Self Correction*
From this post about the Strong sisters...
These are concerning official positions and assignments, not wives and daughters who just happen to follow their husbands and fathers to court and hang out with royal/high-ranking noblewomen (a bit different with girls/children but can vary). Both emerged from the French medieval queen (c. later 1200s) having her own "queenly" household the more time she spent with the king
A lady in waiting was/is:
(usually) currently married or widowed (thus older and going more toward Consorts and Regnants)
considered as something of a companion/secretary to a female royal family member (i.e., princesses either of "the blood" or consorts), a Queen Consort, Queen Regnant, even Queen "Mothers" & Dowagers OR higher ranked noble women
they do not cook & deep clean chambers nor look after the lady/princess/queen, these are servant jobs; they would mainly supervise those who did or relay messages of orders/directions
more often financially independent from the mistress bc they are married or a widow
Duties of a LiW (all quoted from Wiki):
proficiency in the etiquette
languages [profiency]
dances
horse riding
music making and painting prevalent at court
keeping her mistress abreast of activities and personages at court
care of the rooms and wardrobe of her mistress
secretarial tasks
supervision of servants, budget and purchases
reading correspondence to her mistress and writing on her behalf
discreetly relaying messages upon command
More duties (Brittanica):
putting on and removing the queen’s clothing and bathing her
*expected to put her needs above those of their own husbands and children
spent most of the day with the queen and provided her with companionship and entertainment in her private chamber
attending to the queen [in public functions] and participating in such events as ambassadorial receptions and masques -> proficiency in several languages
expected to maintain high moral standards -> avoiding scandal and often staying disengaged from politics...yet..."many queens required their ladies-in-waiting to pass along intelligence about their families and members of the court" Why?:
Exercising political power in the medieval and early modern patronage systems of royal courts was in fact a key element of the lives of ladies-in-waiting and often the reason that they sought such offices. A lady-in-waiting had direct access to the queen, who wielded varying degrees of influence over the king and his court. This allowed ladies-in-waiting to advance the petitions and career interests of their families and others. Many ladies-in-waiting received no official compensation for their work and were understood to have taken the office solely to gain social and political capital. [...] Ladies-in-waiting were particularly powerful in the courts of female monarchs who ruled independently, as they had direct access to and influence with the highest power in the land.
A maid of honor was:
always unmarried (thus usually much younger)
sometimes and in some courts, the "juniors" to the ladies in waiting; can be conceptualized as a sort of "apprentice" to LiW in regards to etiquette, learning from her higher-ranked superirors
can be entirely or mostly dependent on the mistress due to her unmarried status
[2nd source for "maid of honor": William Tighe, 'Familia reginae: the Privy Court', Susan Doran & Norman Jones, The Elizabethan World (Routledge, 2011), pp. 76, 79]

How many people were executed during Elizabeth's religious persecution, and how many were burned to death? (I remember she didn't execute as many people as Mary in her entire life, did she?)
Ok, so, maybe it's nothing new to you but I think we first need to clarify that burning was not the only type of execution. Capital punishments in Tudor England included:
hanging - punishment for manslaughter, infanticide, murder, rape, arson, causing death by witchcraft, highway robbery, buggery and sodomy. Most common death penalty;
drawing, hanging and quartering - punishment for treason for men not belonging to nobility. In practice most though were simply hanged until completely dead before being eviscerated;
beheading - punishment for treason for nobility.
burning at the stake - punishment for heresy, also for treason for women.
Now, important moment, those Catholics who were executed by Elizabeth were not executed merely because of their religion, they were put to death as traitors to the state (for rebellions, plotting conspiracies, calling to overthrow government and the church settlement, or acting in some other ways against the monarch and the established laws) and therefore were hanged, drawled hanged quartered or beheaded depending on their social status and severity of their crimes. Except for some women who were burned at the stake for treason because unfortunately according to the laws of the day that was the punishment for treason for women. Those who were burned at the stake for heresy during Elizabeth's reign were several anabaptists, as far as I know.
Eric Ives writes that 124 Catholic priests were executed during Elizabeth's reign (Susan Doran writes - 133) "plus perhaps 59 lay folk", but I understand this number doesn't include executed rebels, because for the participation in the Northern Revolt alone over 400 men were executed.
Mary put Protestants to death for heresy, that is simply for their religion, simply for them being Protestants, and therefore they were burned at the stake. Eric Ives writes that at least 229 men, 55 women and 1 baby were burned to death in such a way. In addition to that there were also other aforementioned types of executions carried out during her reign. Mary burned more people at the stake than Elizabeth, bet Elizabeth put to death more people in total which is not surprising because Elizabeth ruled 44 years but Mary only 5.

This poll only has short-stories turned into comics/graphic novels, the second one will have only original works and the last one will have novels and short-stories turned into comics/graphic novels. I'll made a fourth poll if I forgot about any, so you may as well mention your favorites just in case. My tag for these polls is "gaiman's comics".
I have a few 'gaiman's female characters', 'gaiman's queer characters' and 'gaiman's angel characters' polls out there. I also have polls about works by Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, Edgar Allan Poe, French lit and comics in my 'polls' tag.

‘Tudors and Stuarts on Film: Historical Perspectives’ by Susan Doran and Thomas Freeman
Genre: Adult Non-Fiction – History Published: 2009 Format: Paperback Rating: ★★★★ This is a book that I first read while at university while studying for my two history degrees. It’s quite a comprehensive look at the Tudors on film, at least up to 2009 when the book was published. Of course, there have been several new adaptations of the Tudor stories published in the last decade and a half…

It is proved that Courtenay has sent a child of five, the son of one of the soldiers in the Tower, to present his commendations to Elizabeth. As for her, no decision has yet been arrived at.
Simon Renard to the Emperor. 1 May [1554]
"Moreover, the Tower informant is corroborated on one point. He related that a young boy brought flowers to Elizabeth during her stay in the Tower; years later another informant identitifed the boy as the son of the Keeper of the Wardrobe." The Myth of Elizabeth, Susan Doran

Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester; Christopher Hatton; and Robert Devereux, second earl of Essex. Retelling the stories of their relationships with the queen allows me to correct some common misconceptions. To take a few examples, these men’s intimacy with Elizabeth was not sexual; indeed, it is highly unlikely that she had a sexual relationship with anyone. Furthermore, although these three courtiers were considered good-looking with a fine physique, their physical attractiveness does not explain their influence with the queen. As will be seen, they all had considerable abilities and important connections; each of them served a political apprenticeship before acquiring political office; and each gave the queen loyal and valuable service. Finally, although some contemporaries and later commentators accused them of being favourites who monopolized the queen’s affections and counsels, such allegations were biased and unfounded. Complaints of this kind were voiced at the time either by Catholic propagandists abroad seeking to discredit the Elizabethan regime or by disaffected courtiers at home who were denied the favours, they believed, they deserved
