#quotsyjune19 #spinster @TK-421 “If I follow the inclination of my nature, it is this: beggar-woman and single, far rather than queen and married.” Elizabeth I is the ultimate spinster! Phew...last challenge of the day...done.

Pickpick

Elizabeth Virgin Queen? It does not really address the love life of Elizabeth Tudor, (or lack thereof) but rather, it tells of her personality, how she interacted with her subjects, and how she handled a spiraling economy. She certainly did not marry as she did not want to give rule to her husband, which is exactly what would've happened. Overall, is easy to read, kept my interest and informative.
