Thank you, nopardons. Queen Elizabeth is one of my favorite monarchs. She put up with a lot in her youth and vanquished all her enemies. Not a perfect person, by far, but she did the best she could with what was handed her by her bastard father and half sister.
You two amaze me. Nice work. Nice recall.
And don’t forget her nasty Cousin Mary, nor all of the foreign intrigues she had to put up with on top of such in her own court. She was a brilliant woman who ruled well and with distinction.
