Elizabeth

How does a woman go from this...

...to this?

Drink: Wine

Entree: Smoked turkey leg with braided bread & mixed grill veggies.

Dessert: Apple Tart

Timing: Lavender garden is growing.

Movie:

There are many answers to the above.  For starters...

• Her legitimacy to the most powerful throne on Earth at the time is constantly being questioned which results in imprisonment & assassination attempts.
• The notion that a queen must marry presents many power hungry suitors with anything but her best interest in mind.

As you can see from the above this film takes us through the transformation of Elizabeth daughter of Henry VIII & Anne Boleyn to the Virgin Queen.  The set, costumes, casting and acting are all superb & to top it all off it shows us a very interesting time in the British monarchy which was left insecure after Henry VIII's carelessness. In the end in order to sustain her power she announced, "I am the Virgin Queen.  I am married to England."  And that was that!
