		Her council is convinced the only way to secure her rightful place as queen, in the wake of family strife and the advancement of her Scottish cousin (Charlotte Winner), is for Elizabeth to marry.
		Throughout Europe come proposals of marriage from every eligible monarch, and while the queen entertains more than one of them, it is clear to everyone with eyes that her heart belongs to a man who cannot have it.

		Focussing mainly on the love affair with Robert Dudley, 'The Virgin Queen', also details the important political and historical events during her reign as she balances personal life with the severity of being a monarch.
		Queen Elizabeth I was, as the modern phrase has it, "highly strung" and the screech of anger or laughter is never far from the surface in Anne-Marie Duff's interpretation.
		This presents the life of Elizabeth from her young adulthood under Queen Mary, as a supposed participant in intrigues against the Catholic Queen, through to her death after serving decades on the throne of England as the Virgin Queen, the queen who never married.

	SparkNotes: Queen Elizabeth I: A "Virgin Queen"?
		As a result of her aversion to matrimony, she began to be called the "Virgin Queen." However, although it is clear that she never married, her status as a lifelong virgin is under considerable doubt.
		But of all her liaisons, the most overt and most certain was with her Master of the Horse, Lord Robert Dudley, whom she named the Earl of Leicester in 1564.
		Dudley's wife was slowly dying, probably of breast cancer, but Dudley left his dying wife in their lonely castle by herself, preferring nearly constant service to the Queen, despite the fact that his post was a decorative and fairly unimportant one.

	Performing Life Elizabeth the Virgin Queen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Scholars often argue that with her ascension Queen Elizabeth I transformed the cult of the Virgin Mary into a cult of Queen Elizabeth I. Never married, Queen Elizabeth became a "Protestant substitute for the Virgin Mary." Essentially, Elizabeth was filling the void left by the Virgin Mary as a virgin-mother figure.
		Further analysis by scholars such as Helen Hackett in her book Virgin Mother, Maiden Queen: Elizabeth I and the Cult of the Virgin Mary suggests that Elizabeth's claim to Marian images was a move to legitimate her power through religion.
		Moreover, Elizabeth's virginity became a symbol of England's inability to be conquered by foreign powers.

		Add ''The Virgin Queen" to the list of PBS's Sunday night gems, and see it as evidence that ''Masterpiece Theatre" still has a distinguished purpose.

		And though it will not dethrone [Glenda] Jackson's as the definitive Queen Bess miniseries, or make you feel for its lonely-at-the-top protagonist as deeply as you might, it is, for most of its four hours, diverting educational fun, mostly true to the encyclopedia but not at all dry.

		A terrific feature of Part 2 is the way the Queen ages, going into heavier and heavier maquillage to hide her smallpox pits and age's wrinkles.
