Elizabeth R - Shadow in the Sun

Seizoen: 1 - Aflevering: 3 / 3 - Eerst uitgezonden: 03 maart 1971 - Episode ID: 85465

Elizabeth meets her most eligible suitor yet: Francois, Duke of Anjou. A marriage will cement France's sought for alliance with England. Both Sir William Cecil and Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex (especially the latter), eagerly support this marriage offer. Despite the Puritans' rousing opposition in the country (which her zealously anti-catholic councillor Sir Francis Walsingham secretly approves of), Elizabeth seems taken with the witty and flower-tongued Francois. As her duties as Queen clash with her feelings as a woman (and she discovers to her fury that Dudley has secretly married her cousin Lettice Knollys), Elizabeth faces her toughest decision. In the end, her good friend and councillor Sussex helps Elizabeth make her painfully honest, final decision.
