She was known as "BLOODY MARY".She killed thousands of  PROTESTANTS in charge of conspiring against CATHOLICS & MONARCHY.Queen's half-sister ELIZABETH  was also arrested for conspiracy charges. BUT, In 1558; MARY dies of tumor & ELIZABETH is freed and crowned THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND. AT that time ELIZABETH was only 25 ; she was in love with LORD ROBERT DUDLEY.

During that time , MARY of GUISE lands additional 4000 troops in neighbouring Scotland.ELIZABETH have no experience of military as well as throne , ill-trained and strategiless English army was defeated by the professional french soldiers. ELIZABETH accepted conditions of MARY, to consider marrying with her nephew HENRY of France . 
FRANCIS WALSINGHAM
IN this movie many times 'HAMARTIA' founded, in light mode; always in character of ELIZABETH.TO heal England's religious divisions, she proposes ACT of UNIFORMITY; in which people used to follow only one church and both paths of Christian religion arguing against one another and refuses to accept queen's proposal ; in response to that ACT Vaticans started conspiring against queen; growing plot to overthrow Elizabeth.Francis walsingham discover all conspires and kill them on the charge of conspirating .Elizabeth found HENRY ;CROSS- DRESSER and refuses to marry him.also she overcome to knowing that LORD ROBERT was already married;thus she banned him form her home. 

Mr.Francis was sent to meet MARY in secret and there Francis killed MARY QUEEN ; Norfolk signed agreement with Vatican ; Elizabeth ordered  to arrest all conspirator except lord ROBERT.

IN the END Elizabeth cuts her hair and considered her self as a VIRGIN QUEEN . Proclaimed her self married to England, ruled lifetime as a Virgin Queen .
    
In movie ELIZABETH depicted as very weak and poor queen than history; thus many English man are disappointed with producer & director but they need to understand ; this it only literary piece not reality.
