Her cousin Mary has the recognition to be the Queen of England and the Queen is supposed to be assassinated, she is protestant. She discovers everything and the author to be a Spanish plan.

Her assistant Bess informed the Pirate she was pregnant, so they married in the hidden. The Queen gets furious with her when she discovers, a big treason, so she orders to the Pirate to be jailed and takes Bess rights. The girl is nice, but she could not fight her feelings that came from the heart. The Queen had her as main confident and now she is very disappointed. 


Here she is taking some advises with her Elder, and now the Armada is approaching her castle, they are preparing for the attack. She said that this is an Inquisition attack and is afraid the liberty of thought will not exist, so she says: - We cannot be defeated!"



She has lack of warriors, so she wants all the men she has to fight including the prisoners. 



The Queen in the battlefield, she will not abandon England and she is giving words of motivation and encouragement to the warriors.

The Armada Portrait of 1588 shows Queen Elizabeth I majestic in victory over Spain. Over her right shoulder, the ships of the Spanish Armada are destroyed, while her opposite hand rests on a globe, reflecting England’s imperial ambitions.




she said, "but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and a king of England too, and I find the dirty contempt that... Spain, or any prince of Europe, must dare invade the borders of my kingdom.

Remember: Many are the men's plan, but God is the one who decides.
