Yorumum

"Your majesty's body and person are no longer her own property, they belong to state."

Sir William Cecil

Queen Mary: When I look at you I see nothing of the king, only that whore, your mother. My father never did anything so well as to cut off her head.

Elizabeth: Your Majesty forgets he was also my father.(VIII Henry - Anne Boleyn)

While it's true that Henri, Duke of Anjou (later King Henri III) was generally obsessed with clothing and did on occasion dress as a woman, he never actually traveled to England to court the Queen. That honour fell instead to his younger brother François, who became Duke of Anjou in 1576, and was the only one of Elizabeth's many suitors to court her in person.

Walsingham never went to Scotland during the period the film covers and never killed Mary de Guise. She died of dropsy. In fact Walsingham later went to Scotland to ensure James VI's succession of Elizabeth to the English throne. Walsingham is also portrayed as older than Elizabeth in the movie, but they were about the same age.
