Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was the first non-royal to marry an English monarch in 400 years. She took on the unexpected mantle of Queen when her brother in law abdicated amid scandal and was a national symbol of strength in WWII. As Queen mother she bolstered the reign of her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.
