This article uses broadside ballads to show that dynastic right was of central importance to the popular view of the accessions of Mary I and Elizabeth I, as well as that of the foreign king James VI when he acceded to the English throne in 1603. It challenges our view of Tudor iconography by showing that although popular songs were not afraid to tackle the gender implications of queens regnant, the popular image of Elizabeth I was not centred on her femininity. The article compares the positive English view of Mary I’s femininity with negative portrayals of Mary Queen of Scots in Scotland, while suggesting that the issue of femininity was not raised in ballads about Elizabeth I because her half-sister had already normalised the idea of a woman on the throne.

1553-1603 年英国和苏格兰民谣中的性别、权威和女王形象

这篇文章使用宽泛的民谣来表明王朝权利对于玛丽一世和伊丽莎白一世的即位以及外国国王詹姆斯六世在 1603 年即位时的观点至关重要。它挑战了我们对都铎肖像的看法表明，尽管流行歌曲并不害怕解决女王统治的性别影响，但伊丽莎白一世的流行形象并不集中在她的女性气质上。这篇文章将英国对玛丽一世女性气质的正面看法与苏格兰对苏格兰玛丽女王的负面描述进行了比较，同时暗示女性气质问题并未在有关伊丽莎白一世的民谣中提出，因为她同父异母的妹妹已经将女性的观念正常化了在宝座上。
