Levin helps define 16th century death
Carole Levin
The request came via e-mail in June. Producers of a British documentary show needed an expert on Queen Elizabeth I of England and they turned to Carole Levin, professor of history and director of UNL's Medieval and Renaissance Studies program.
Levin specializes in late medieval and early modern English and European cultural and women's history, including Queen Elizabeth I. She has published several books, including "The Reign of Elizabeth I." She eagerly jumped at the chance to participate in "Mystery Files," a show that cracks open the most famous and iconic mysteries. more...
