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.

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