Queen Elizabeth's friendships with Christopher Marlowe and Sir Walter Raleigh contributed to difficulties in both men's lives because their association with the queen brought them under political scrutiny and suspicion. Marlowe's controversial beliefs and Raleigh's ambitious ventures clashed with the political interests of the time, leading to their involvement in scandals and eventually facing serious consequences.
She was a beautiful woman. I doubt very much an Hermaphrodite Queen would have attracted men like Sir Walter Raleigh and Lord Essex.
A favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, Sir Walter Raleigh was distrusted by Elizabeth's successor, King James I. In 1603, Raleigh was accused of plotting against James I, and he was stripped of all his offices and imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he remained for some 13 years. In 1616, he was released and returned to Guyana, where he unsuccessfully searched for gold. While there, his men captured and burned a Spanish settlement. The Spanish ambassador to England demanded punishment. James I, happy to punish the man he considered an enemy, re-arrested Raleigh, charging him with treason. Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded on October 29, 1618.
