Queen Elizabeth learns Irish


I did a bit of work on Elizabeth I last year and I`m thinking of expanding the whole Elizabeth I / Tudors/ maybe Granuaile thing. Nothing`s come up yet though...I was impressed by the fact that (allegedly) Queen Elizabeth got a few Irish lessons before meeting Granuaile; I wonder if that was true. I`d love to have been a fly on the wall that day. No worries about where to start the conversation at any rate.
I guess if Pat Kenny were to interview either of them he would patronisingly call them "Feissssssty", as he recently did with the Managing Director of the World Bank which hopefully would draw the same kind of reaction as one would if one were to get a swift kick in the teeth for no reason.
