Nøkkelord Queen Elizabeth I

Mary Stuart ble dronning av Frankrike i en alder av 16 år, men da hun ble enke kort tid senere vendte hun hjem igjen til Skottland, hvor hun hadde tilbrakt barndommen. Som eneste gjenlevende barn av James V, gjorde hun krav på den skotske tronen. Men hun siktet høyere enn det, og ble snart en trussel for sin slektning, Dronning Elizabeth I av England. Den historiske maktkampen, preget av konspirasjoner, begjær og tragedie, skildres i denne Oscar-nominerte filmen, med Saorise Ronanen (Lady Bird, Brooklyn) og Margot Robbie (I, Tonya) i hovedrollene.

Unge Will Shakespeare er en fremadstormende forfatter som uheldigvis har blitt rammet av alle forfatteres forbannelse - skrivtørke. Komedien han skriver på, den heller klønete titulerte Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter, kommer ingen vei, og teateret hvor stykket skal settes opp trues med å bli stengt. Will trenger inspirasjon. Og dét er nøyaktig hva han får, i form av den vakre Viola de Lesseps - kvinnen som under dekke av å være mann har fått hovedrollen i Wills teaterstykke. Men kjærlighetens veier er tornfulle for den unge Shakespeare, for etter befaling av Dronning Elizabeth skal Viola gifte seg med den følelseskalde Lord Wessex. Gleder og tragedier fra Wills eget liv finner veien ned på papiret i denne rørende, morsomme og romantiske historien.

Elizabeth I is a two-part 2005 British historical drama television miniseries directed by Tom Hooper, written by Nigel Williams, and starring Helen Mirren as Elizabeth I of England. The miniseries covers approximately the last 24 years of her nearly 45-year reign. Part 1 focuses on the final years of her relationship with the Earl of Leicester, played by Jeremy Irons.

It later aired on HBO in the United States, CBC and TMN in Canada, ATV in Hong Kong, ABC in Australia, and TVNZ Television One in New Zealand. The series went on to win Emmy, Peabody, and Golden Globe Awards. The same year, Helen Mirren starred as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen, with which she dominated the award season.

The Virgin Queen explores the full sweep of Elizabeth's life: from her days of fear as a potential victim of her sister's terror; through her great love affair with Robert Dudley; into her years of triumph over the Armada; and finally her old age and her last, enigmatic relationship with her young protégé, the Earl of Essex.

This historical mini-series documents the reign of Elizabeth I with each episode focusing on one dramatic period in the lengthy reign of the Virgin Queen, including her ascension to the throne, her various marital intrigues, her problems with her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, and the threatened invasion of the Spanish Armada.

Stretching from the Stone Age to the year 2000, Simon Schama's Complete History of Britain does not pretend to be a definitive chronicle of the turbulent events which buffeted and shaped the British Isles. What Schama does do, however, is tell the story in vivid and gripping narrative terms, free of the fustiness of traditional academe, personalising key historical events by examining the major characters at the centre of them. Not all historians would approve of the history depicted here as shaped principally by the actions of great men and women rather than by more abstract developments, but Schama's way of telling it is a good deal more enthralling as a result. Schama successfully gives lie to the idea that the history of Britain has been moderate and temperate, passing down the generations as stately as a galleon, taking on board sensible ideas but steering clear of sillier, revolutionary ones. Nonsense. Schama retells British history the way it was--as bloody, convulsive, precarious, hot-blooded and several times within an inch of haring off onto an entirely different course. Schama seems almost to delight in the goriness of history. Themes returned to repeatedly include the wars between the Scots and the Irish and the Catholic/Protestant conflicts--only the Irish question remains unresolved by the new millennium. As Britain becomes a constitutional monarchy, Schama talks less of Kings and Queens but of poets and idea-makers like Orwell. Still, with his pungent, direct manner and against an evocative visual and aural backdrop, Schama makes history seem as though it happened yesterday, the bloodstains not yet dry.
