本片讲的伊丽莎白一世(Elizabeth I,1533年9月7日出生于格林尼治,即今日伦敦的格林尼治,1603年3月24日逝世于萨里),于1558年11月17日至1603年3月24日任英格兰和爱尔兰女王,是都铎王朝的第五位也是最后一位君主。她终身未嫁,因此被称为“童贞女王”。她即位时英格兰处于内部因宗教分裂的混乱状态,但她不但成功地保持了英格兰的统一,而且在经过近半个世纪的统治后,使英格兰成为欧洲最强大, 富有的国家之一。英格兰文化也在此期间达到了一个顶峰,涌现出了诸如莎士比亚,培根这样的着名人物。英国在北美的殖民地亦在此期间开始确立。她的统治期在英国历史上被称为“伊丽莎白时期”,亦称为“黄金时代”。

In this first episode David Starkey examines Elizabeth I’s life before her coronation. If her reign was full of glorious victories, her earlier life was a perilous journey.

Her father would kill her mother and Elizabeth would be disinherited, sexually abused and imprisoned at the Tower under threat of execution.

David Starkey explores the tensions created by Elizabeth I’s reluctance to marry, which strained the political and religious machinations of her reign.

The self-styled ‘Virgin Queen’ - devoted only to her country - signified a new era of unorthodox behaviour on the throne.

Though her dalliances with potential suitors such as Lord Dudley provoked much speculation, it was her refusal to choose a spouse from France or Spain - powers that were a threat to the then slight nation of England - that worried the Queen’s advisors.

The programme also measures the threat presented by Elizabeth’s cousin, Mary Queen of Scots.

In July 1588 beacons were lit across England to warn of the arrival of the Spanish Armada. Elizabeth I’s darkest fears had come true.

Having successfully avoided open war for 20 years, she found herself bound up in a costly and desperately unpredictable conflict.

Elizabeth also loathed war because, as a woman, she couldn’t lead her own armies. Instead she had to delegate command to hot-tempered men, who disobeyed her orders and even turned her own forces against her.

Despite the difficulties, it was war which provided Elizabeth with her finest hour.

After the Armada was defeated Elizabeth I ushered in a golden age in English society. With a flourishing of literature, an age of prosperity and a sense that England was at last a nation to be reckoned with in Europe, national pride was at an all-time high.

Elizabeth was hailed as Gloriana: almost a goddess in the eyes of her subjects. Unfortunately the goddess was getting old.
