Elizabeth was called the 'Virgin Queen' due to the fact that she refused to marry. The are many theories as to why; keeping herself as a pawn for peace is one such theory. Another is that after witnessing how her father, Henry the 8th, treated his wives swore her off of marriage for ever. She was determined to remain married to England. However it is commonly known that she and Robert Dudley were much in love but after the scandalous death of his wife he was never seen as an acceptable match.

Queen Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) did not marry, or have children, and because of this was nicknamed The Virgin Queen. Elizabeth maintained that she was married to England.

The state of Virginia, in the USA, is named after Elizabeth I (The Virgin Queen).
