Elizabethan England. Elizabeth I inherits a kingdom divided by religion and scarred by the reign of Mary I. Determined to rule without surrendering authority to a husband, she relies on a small circle of counsellors while foreign monarchs, English nobles and rival claimants attempt to turn marriage and succession into instruments of policy.
The captivity of Mary, Queen of Scots, the threat from Philip II and the Spanish Armada, and Elizabeth’s attachment to Robert Dudley force public duty against private loyalty. Celebrated as the Virgin Queen and Gloriana, she must preserve the Tudor settlement while accepting that the political mask sustaining her monarchy also limits the personal life behind it.
