Ok you Tudor England historians I've been reading up alot on Tudor England and Elizabeth and I think she's fascinating and an intriguing monarch.
I've got a question though that wasnt covered in my readings. It seems that she
as an English female monarch is out ofplace and time. Does she ever use her sex
to establish her rights to rule? Or did she protray herself as weak to her advisors and british parliament and other monarchs.
Just wanted clarification on this because the booKs Im reading are just chronologically telling her reign.
thanks. :D

One of her greatest tools was her potential to marry. Mayn, many times she was approached by other princes and monarchs looking for marraige, and she was cunningly able to use these approaches to get her wishes and to hold off her enemies(at least for some time). She never accepted, but she never accepted, but she never said no.
