Elizabeth I’s love life: was she really a ‘Virgin Queen’? | Human Interest | Scoop.it

'The disaster that overtook the Scottish queen in the summer of 1567, resulting in the loss of her throne, has long been viewed as the outcome of an ill-advised love affair. Yet, as Linda Porter reveals, there was little romance in her sordid, bloody fall from grace ...'

'The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 – a fleet of Spanish ships led by Medina Sidonia with the purpose of overthrowing Queen Elizabeth I – is considered one of England’s greatest military achievements, and one that served to boost the monarch’s popularity.
