Elizabeth - Tensions Over Loyalty and Leadership in Elizabethan England
Sir Robert Dudley: [to Elizabeth]
Remember who you are. Do not be afraid of them.
Norfolk: [about Elizabeth]
She is just a child and yet still you piss yourselves!
Norfolk: [to Mary, on her deathbed, as she refuses to sign a warrant for Elizabeth's execution]
Will you leave your kingdom to a heretic?
Arundel:
War is a sin, but sometimes, a necessary one.
De la Quadra: [to Dudley]
My lord, what will a man not do for love?
Duc d'Anjou: [in French]
Elizabeth is a witch...a witch...and her servant is the devil!
Mary of Guise: [in French, to herself; turns to her officer]
Go back to England, and take this to your Queen. Hm? English blood on French colors. Send him back to his Queen, and make sure he remains alive. Tell that bastard Queen not to send children to fight Mary of Guise!
Sir William Cecil:
He is a traitor, and his father before him. Lord Robert's head will end up on a spike, not on the pillow of a Queen.
