Now many women who insist on celibacy enjoy single life, and also say "no marriage and no infertility to ensure peace", women have money and single, no family conflicts, naturally happy. Queen Elizabeth I of England was unmarried for life, had no husband and children, and was also a single woman.
Elizabeth I was born in 1533 to his wife-killer Henry VIII and his mother anne Boleyn, henry VIII's second queen. Anne Boleyn was born as a palace maid, and only ascended to the throne when Xiao San destroyed the marriage of the original queen.
Elizabeth I's life was very bumpy, when she was three years old, her mother Anne Boleyn was sent to the guillotine by her father Henry VIII, and she changed from a princess to an illegitimate daughter. Fortunately, several stepmothers were not bad, did not abuse her, and let her maintain a princess-like life.
In 1558, Elizabeth's half-sister Mary I died, as Mary I had no children and Elizabeth, as a younger sister, succeeded to the throne. On 15 January 1559, Elizabeth was officially crowned Queen of England. She was only 25 years old at the time and was not yet married.
Many foreign princes proposed to Elizabeth I, but elizabeth I refused. Elizabeth I loved to play the game of proposal, was proposed and then rejected, and enjoyed it. Whenever a country is friendly with England, the British minister asks the other, "Why didn't your king propose to our queen?" ”
It turns out that inconsolation and infertility are safe. Several of Elizabeth's stepmothers died in childbirth, some in their 20s and some in their 30s. Elizabeth I lived to 1603 at the age of 70, which was already a long life at that time.
In elizabeth's life, dystocia was a woman's nemesis, and three out of ten women died as a result of dystocia. Elizabeth I avoided childbearing without marriage or childbearing, and would not die of dystocia.
Elizabeth I's inconsolation and infertility did not mean that she had to live a life as pure as a nun, and Elizabeth I had at least two open lovers, one was Robert Dudley. The other was Robert Dudley's stepson, Essex.
Robert Dudley is the younger uncle of Jane Gray, the "Queen of the Nine Days", who once lived with Elizabeth I in the Tower of London (a prison for the nobility), and shared the same disease, shared the same hardships, shared the same boat, and was a lover and confidant for a lifetime.
Elizabeth I called Robert Dudley "Sweet Eyes", and the two were as good as honey, but they could not marry. Before meeting Elizabeth I, Robert Dudley was already married.
Robert Dudley's wife, Amy, was just an ordinary aristocrat, and their marriage was childless, and Robert Dudley was busy with official duties, and he and his wife Amy were scattered and less together. In 1560, Amy died after falling down the stairs of her home.
Rumors were spread that Elizabeth I wanted to assassinate Robert Dudley's wife, Amy, if she wanted to be with Robert Dudley. Elizabeth I was mindful of influence, so she did not marry Robert Dudley.
Robert Dudley married Elizabeth I's cousin, Letus Noris, a young and beautiful widow with a son, Essex. Robert Dudley and Leterus Norris were secretly married, but When Elizabeth I learned of this, she was furious and forbade Letus Norris to enter the court.
Leterus Norris bore Robert Dudley a son, but died of illness at an early age. Robert Dudley had no descendants.
Robert Dudley died of illness at Coinbury Manor, Oxford, on 4 September 1588 at the age of 56. Heartbroken, Elizabeth I shut herself in her room without eating or drinking. The chancellor could only split the door and persuade Elizabeth I to mourn the change.
After Elizabeth I was sad, she still started a new life and came out of sadness. Elizabeth did not do "once the vicissitudes of the sea were water, except for the Wushan Mountain is not a cloud." Elizabeth I's new lover, who was astonishing, turned out to be Robert Dudley's stepson, Essex.
Essex was not only Robert Dudley's stepson, but also related to Elizabeth I. Essex's mother was The Cousin niece and enemy of Elizabeth I, Letus Norris. This is really "fat water does not flow to other people's fields".
Essex is still a cousin of Elizabeth I, but this is nothing in the European kingdom, and relatives in the European kingdom can marry across generations. Elizabeth I's sister Mary I married her cousin Philip II, while Marshal Mountbatten of England's parents were cousins and cousins.
What is the relationship between Letus Norris and Elizabeth I's lover, Robert Dudley, who in turn fell in love with Essex, the son of Letus Norris? How is this number calculated?
Essex is more than 30 years younger than Elizabeth I, Elizabeth I is really "old cow eating tender grass", it seems that the old lady has the power and also likes small fresh meat.
But Essex was pampered and arrogant, believing that he had emotionally conquered the queen and could do whatever he wanted. He disobeyed Elizabeth I's orders, angering Elizabeth I, who sent him to the guillotine.
Elizabeth I would never let emotion dominate reason, and emotionally she was very similar to her father, Henry VIII. She is not a love brain, and the country is always more important than love.
Although she never got married and had children in her life, Elizabeth I lived a colorful life and fully enjoyed love, but why did she not get pregnant, was her two loves just spiritual love? This is something historians should study.
