  • Track 1 - The Virgin Queen
    Performed by Medieval Baebes.
    Taken from the BBC series, worth a watch for all History fans.
    Personally, I think that this is the best version of a portrayal of Queen Elizabeth the 1st, and even better features a young Tom Hardy as her love interest...!

    This is my favorite version of Queen Elizabeth's I life. Anne Marie Duff was absolutely amazing. The lyrics from this song actually come from a poem Elizabeth wrote. This is my favorite soundtrack, ever. I'm now a huge' Medieaval Baebes' fan.

      I do love the soundtrack, but my favourite series on Elizabeth I is Elizabeth R (it was made in the 70s, it's an oldie but a goodie, if you haven't seen it, I recommend it, all the episodes are here on YT). It's the only series I know of to pick an actress for Mary I who actually looked like her historical counterpart. Mary's mother, Catherine of Aragon, was Spanish, but neither of them had the swarthy Mediterranean look Mary has in The Virgin Queen or Catherine (played by the same actress) has in Wolf Hall. They were both actually quite pale and had reddish-blonde hair and blue eyes.

    "My care is like my shadow,
    Laid bare beneath the sun.
    It follows me at all times,
    And flies when I pursue it."
    "I freeze and yet am always burned.
    Since from myself again I turn,
    I love and yet am forced to hate,
    I seem stark mute; inside I prate."
    "My care is like my shadow,
    Laid bare beneath the sun.
    It follows me at all times,
    And flies when I pursue it."
    "I love and yet am forced to hate,
    I seem stark mute; inside I prate:
    Some gentler love doth ease itself,
    Into my heart and mind.
    For I am soft and made of snow.
    Love, be more cruel or so be kind."

    The poem, written by Queen Elizabeth I:
    "I grieve and dare not show my discontent;
    I love, and yet am forced to seem to hate;
    I do, yet dare not say I ever meant;
    I seem stark mute, but inwardly do prate.
    I am, and not; I freeze and yet am burned,
    Since from myself another self I turned."
    "My care is like my shadow in the sun --
    Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
    Stands, and lies by me, doth what I have done;
    His too familiar care doth make me rue it.
    No means I find to rid him from my breast,
    Till by the end of things it be suppressed."
    "Some gentler passion slide into my mind,
    For I am soft and made of melting snow;
    Or be more cruel, Love, and so be kind.
    Let me or float or sink, be high or low;
    Or let me live with some more sweet content,
    Or die, and so forget what love e'er meant."

      No she wasn't
      Her biggest legacy, was destroying the protestant/catholic conflict by creating the Church of England, to unite the people, and stop strife.
      The Queen was likely an Athiest, and saw beyond the strife.

      es una versión moderna esa canción unida a elementos antiguos. A menudo impresiona la antigüedad y sus costumbres, pero creo que estando 1 mes allí daríamos todo por huir de allí, épocas donde dar a luz o una carie podían matar, o pensar distinto significaba el hacha o la hoguera, admiro a aquellos que en esos tiempos podían destacar, sean nobles como la reina Elizabeth I o un campesino que para no morir de hambre era capaz de viajar a américa en un viaje equivalente a ir a marte. Naturalmente ellos creían que vivían en el fin de los tiempos, ingenuos, con todo lo mala que era la vida en el siglo XVI al menos no existía la amenaza nuclear que si puede suponer el fin de los tiempos o el calentamiento global.
