Elizabeth had countless suitors and several proposals before and during her time as Queen. She supposedly first caught the attention of Thomas Seymour, who was married to her stepmother and guardian, Catherine Parr. Later as Queen, she had the eye of Kings, Dukes, Princes and Earls - as well as explorers and highly-respected statesmen such as Robert Dudley and Sir Walter Raleigh. Other suitors included (among others):

* Sir Christopher Hatton * Emanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy * Prince Eric of Sweden * Prince Frederick of Denmark

* Sir Thomas Heneage * Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex * Prince Philip II of Spain * Don Carlos * Sir William Pickering * Henry Duke of Anjou

* Duke of Angoulme
