It's well-known that Queen Elizabeth I never married, but what where her reasons for doing so, and who did she turn down? This video examines the events in Elizabeth's life that led to her choice to remain celibate and unmarried, and takes a look at the 6 main suitors she refused...

And ahead of time, apologies for my terrible pronunciation of the 'Edict of Beaulieu'! I have a cold at the moment, and this was about the 10th take - trust me, the best one lol.
