Historian Christopher Haigh explains: “On her throne, Elizabeth was the Virgin Queen; towards the Church she was a mother, with her nobles she was an aunt, to her councillors a nagging wife, and to her courtiers a seductress. ”
Ajaloolane Christopher Haigh selgitab: „Troonil oli Elizabeth neitsikuninganna, kirikule oli ta otsekui ema, aadlikele tädi, nõunikele näägutav abielunaine ja õukondlastele võrgutaja. ”
