King Phillip of Spain (1559) My name is Phillip of Spain, and I have come all the way from Spain to meet you today! I used to be married to your deceased sister, Mary I. Unfortunately my influence was unpopular with Protestant politicians, who were against our marriage… I hear that you immediately said you do not want to marry me, because I treated your sister badly. That’s a shame… If we got married I would be able to keep controlling England. Opps, did I say that out loud?! I would ignore the people of your country, who do not like the idea of us getting married. All they focus on is the recent war I got your sister into and that it led to the loss of Calais.

Prince Eric of Sweden (1559-65) I am Prince Eric of Sweden. I know you’re not keen on the marriage, but many of your councillors (such as Cecil), are really keen on us getting married, because it would create a Protestant alliance. You’re country is so powerful, much more powerful than Sweden, and on this basis I am very keen for us to get married. It doesn’t matter really that your people don’t really know who I am!!

Charles of Austria (1560-67) Hi Elizabeth! I am Catholic Charles of Austria! I hope you are feeling better after suffering from Small Pox. Your Council seem enthusiastic for us to marry on the back of your illness, despite our religious differences! Do not worry about your people fearing dominance by the Holy Roman Empire. Remember, you yourself are encouraging this proposal. You seem very interested in the political advantage this marriage could bring your country in foreign policy. There is just one thing. Any chance you can move over to me? This marriage is all my Dad’s idea in all honesty, and I’m not too fussed on moving to England.

Robert Dudley (1560-78) -Struts dramatically into the interview room- Elizabeth, my old friend! I would do anything to marry you (apart from push my wife down some stairs, that was such a tragedy!). I know given my wife's suspicious death, our marriage would be a scandal amongst the public, but you cannot deny the love you have for me. We can get past the time you tried to marry me to Mary Queen of Scots. We can get past the fact that our proposed marriage split your council into a factions for and against. It doesn’t matter that Cecil opposes our marriage. I adore you, however our marriage would also do wonders for my career!

Duke of Alencon (1578-81) Bonjour! I am the Duke of Alencon (Anjou), your little frog. I was so glad that you agreed to marry me. It’s a shame you called it off the next day… You seemed to love me, despite my smallpox scars and the fact I’m 20 years younger than you! I hope you still have all my love letters. I could do with some money to fund a military campaign against the Netherlands, but that doesn’t mean I don’t genuinely love you… does it? I heard that your people produced a pamphlet against our marriage. They really don’t like the fact I’m French do they! Or the fact my country massacred Protestants in 1572… Equally, your councillors seem quite divided. I suppose if you do get pregnant it would be very risky… KNOW Elizabeth’s potential husbands ANALYSE The strengths and weaknesses of each suitor EVALUATE Whether Elizabeth was right not to marry
