Did Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh have a love affair in real life?
Doubtful - life at court was a goldfish bowl,so they wouldn't have been able to keep it secret.Further, in terms of class,Elizabeth was way above Raleigh; it would have been socially unacceptable to her to have someone so lowborn as a lover. Elizabeth liked to be flattered,and all men who came to her court seeking favour and advancement knew this.Patronage from the Queen meant wealth and power,so professing 'love' for the Queen was one way to gain her favour. Elizabeth had made a conscious decision not to marry early in her reign, but the court was riven with factions and jealousies.Elizabeth often played favourites with different people to keep the factions off balance and not to appear too biased in favour of any one group or person.She might have written Raleigh love letters, but she also imprisoned him for a time. And don't take too much of what you see in Movies such as 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age' at face value in terms of historical accuracy.I think it's an OK movie, but lots in it is wrong or simply never happened.Hollywood movies are made for entertainment, not for historical accuracy.

Which US state was named by Sir Walter Raleigh after the unmarried Queen Elizabeth I?
Virginia.Because in her day and afterward, Elizabeth I proudly had the title of “The Virgin Queen.” That was actually a point of pride in her case, because….As she was a female member of a royal house, it would have been unthinkable for her to have sex outside of marriage in those days. The rule was quite different for male members of a royal family, of course.So the only way she could have not been a virgin and still been respectable was to be married. But by not getting married, she didn’t have to give up any of her royal authority to a man.(These days, it is possible for a reigning Queen to be married but not give up her power — which is mostly symbolic anyway — because there is now a tradition of such Queens marrying a prince consort. But the tradition was not so clear in the days of Elizabeth I, and she feared that any man she married would become King of England and therefore more powerful.)

What were some of the key achievements of Queen Elizabeth I of England?
She's 90 today, and she's seen a lot. But we know little about her opinions or politics. Over many matters, such as Britain in Europe, she keeps a dignified silence. And that is possibly her main claim to fame. She is a metronome, ticking away at the heart of Britain decade after decade, helping us navigate our course through the modern world, but a constant reminder of the past. Our historic successes and failures help Britain to make better decisions than we might do otherwise. Her quiet dignity sets a high tone when so many are attracted to sudden fame or gaudy bling.Her dedication to a lifetime of public service keeps the promise she made in her coronation. She has done what she said she would do, and she's done it brilliantly.If Australia were to become a republic or if Scotland were to leave the union she would say nothing. Her face would reveal a sadness of course, but she would understand that the will of the people must prevail and that the monarch serves, not rules.These are her main achievements. Old fashioned, certainly. Hard to apply to other countries, without doubt. But we are the better for having her.
