Though throughout my rein counsellors pressured me to get married and produce an heir, it was a demand I always refused. I am not sure why marriage why such a disgusting idea for me. It might have been the way my father treated his wives, including my mother. Also having a man control me, and through me, my country, was a disgusting idea. It is easier to know why having an heir never interested me. I never wanted anyone to outshine me the way I outshined my sister. I wanted complete power over the monarchy until my death. Even now, I am still called the Virgin Queen. Did you know the state Virginia is named after me?
