Who screen wrote The African Queen?
I am not sure about the movie, but it was based on a novel by C.S. Forrester who was much better known for his fictional Nelson-Era Captain Horatio Hornblower. by the way a sort of juvenile clone in the Tarzan mode- Tarzan and the Great River dealt with the saga of a steam lighter captain ( Jan Murray) a female doctor ( do not recall her name) and a native youth and of course Tarzan, theatre of operations was the Amazon, but there were surprising similarities in the plot. There was some welcome humor from Captain Bishop ( as he was known in the story) Actor Jan Murray is best known as a comedian, not so with the Bogart. James Agee co wrote the screenplay with the director John Huston, and numerous changes were made from the C.S. Forrester novel.

What is the surname of Queen Elizabeth Family?
The official family name of the current Queen of England is Windsor- this surname has been carried by her forbears going back up to Queen Victoria (they are thus known as the 'House of Windsor'). Victoria's official surname was Hanover, which was the surname of all previous monarchs going back to William of Orange and his Queen Mary. However, neither of these surnames is the natural one- William of Orange's real surname was Guelf, which he abandoned in favour of the adopted name of Hanover because Guelf sounded too German for an English sovereign. Thus, the real surname of all the monarchs since him is really Guelf! The monarchs prior to William & Mary were James II, Charles II, Charles I and James I- these were all descended from the Kings of Scotland, whose name was Stewart, so they are known as 'the Stewarts' (James II had no surviving heir, which is why William & Mary assumed the English throne, in their capacity as German cousins of the English royals). Similarly, the Stewarts took the throne following the death of Elizabeth I, who died unmarried and childless- she, and all her predecessors going back to Henry VII, were descended from the Welsh kings,whose name was Tudor- so they are known as 'the Tudors'. Henry VII overthrew the last of the Norman kings, Richard III, at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485- the surname of the Norman kings was Plantagenet, going back to William the Conqueror, who invaded England and overthrew the Saxon King Harold in 1066. From King Harold back, I regret I am unsure of what the Royal surnames were. So, Royal surnames in order following the Norman Conquest are: Plantagenet , Tudor , Stewart, 'Hanover' (Guelf) and 'Windsor' (Guelf).
Why did Queen Elizabeth I never marry?
- There is a strong possibility that she was averse to losing power and control of her country if she married. This would have happened (in that era) because she was female.
- There are many theories why Elizabeth did not marry, ranging from loss of power to religious issues. Elizabeth did negotiate marriage with Eric of Sweden, a protestant, but when his father died, he would not have been able to come to England anyway. (The main purpose of marriage is to secure an heir.) However, it has been argued that Elizabeth never intended to marry and so made up excuses such as religion. Concerning her 'lovers' and Robert Dudley there is no absolute proof that Dudley and Elizabeth were lovers. Some historians argue that Elizabeth was psychologically averse to a sexual relationship. When Dudley's wife died it raised scandal in court- his enemies saw this as the perfect opportunity to destroy his political career, and it worked- for the most. There were rumors, started by the same sort, of Elizabeth's illegitimate children by him, but it is almost certain this was nothing more than scandal. This question of why Elizabeth I did not marry is not a simple issue and there is much more one could say.
- Elizabeth did receive many offers of marriage and considered several suitors. She kept the marriage question open for many years but often only as a political or diplomatic tactic. It is thought that she was in love with childhood friend Lord Robert Dudley (later created Dudley Earl of Leicester) but he was a married man. Amy Dudley, his wife, died in 1560 after falling down a flight of stairs. The coroner's inquest finding was accidental death. However, some people suspected Dudley had arranged his wife's death so that he could marry Elizabeth. Elizabeth did consider marrying him but some peers of the realm made clear their disapproval of him and the question mark over his wife's death. There was a strong possibility that the nobility would rise against Elizabeth if the marriage took place, and she could not take that risk. Dudley later remarried. However, Elizabeth maintained a close friendship with him for over 30 years until his death 1588. She continued to consider suitors until she was about 50 years of age. No one can be sure why Elizabeth chose not to marry. However, perhaps more than anything else she did not want to risk losing power to a man. Having never married and had children, Elizabeth I was the fifth and final monarch of the Tudor dynasty.
