    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Philip II of Spain was born in 1527 and only 6 years older than Elizabeth. He was 31 when his wife Mary Tudor died, a lot younger than depicted in the series.
    • Quotes
      • [Queen Elizabeth, a Protestant, displays a far more tolerant attitude to Catholics than Queen Mary, her Catholic sister, did towards Protestants]
      • Queen Elizabeth I: As for religion... Henceforce, all services will be conducted, not in Latin, but English, starting with my Coronation. How can my people understand the power of prayer unless they first understand its meaning? If they are to accept the Protestant faith, it must be through persuasion, not purges. Let the Catholics keep their crucifixes and robes, if they wish. There is but one Jesus Christ. The rest is trifles.
