Many politicians and diplomats etc kept saying that Elizabeth I should get married. She did not want to because she was doing well governing England - if she married her husband would inevitably have interfered with her governing. Also, by marrying, she would have allied England with one or another European faction, and she wanted to keep England's options open.

∙ 14y agoElizabeth I did not marry, and was known as The Virgin Queen. Despite attempts by her ministers to persuade her to marry, she decided that she was "married to England", and declined their proposals. She was said to be in love with the married Earl of Leicester, Robert Dudley, all her life.
She was apparently heard to say at one time: "Better beggar woman and single, than Queen and married."
The French prince Francois, Duke of Anjou & Alencon, did court Elizabeth in 1579, when she was 46 and he was 24, but there was a lot of disquiet in England about the fact that he was Catholic. Although Elizabeth seemed quite fond of the young man, nothing came of the match.
