I'm Reminded
Robert reminds us that today is the birthday of Elizabeth I. She's long been a personal heroine of mine, and if I could meet one historical figure, she would be it. What a remarkable woman, and Queen, she was.
I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and a king of England too; and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm. - Elizabeth (speech to her soldiers at Tilbury, on the approach of the Spanish Armada, July 1588)
