Quotes
Queen Elizabeth: No, Joseph Tudor will be blamed for this. The traitor has been brought home to England where I have ordered him to be drawn and quartered. That will serve as an example to anyone who dare threaten my reign.
Queen Elizabeth: As for Mary Stuat. I am resending my offer. I shall never name an heir unless it is my own child. To name a successor is to place a target on ones self. And so long as I live I shall be the Queen of England. And when I am dead, whoever has the most right shall successed me.

Lady Greer: I was willing to give up so much for you. But now I want you out of my life. Forever.

Queen Elizabeth: He somehow infuriated The Pope. I guess he can’t charm everyone.
Robert Dudley: He’s your ambassador Elizabeth. You’re just going to let him die?
Queen Elizabeth: I sent him to France to woo Mary. He’s more a male prostitute than a master of diplomacy.
Queen Catherine: From Where I sit- which is on the French throne as it’s regent- I see The Vatican pushing around it’s female monarchs and I don’t appreciate it one bit! You can go now.
Queen Catherine: We are no longer lovers Christopher, just two people who keep each other’s secrets.
