Queen Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, reigned alone as England's monarch for forty-four years. The marriage of a queen regent was extremely complicated, and Elizabeth did not want to make an unpopular match. At least that's history's version. True to her perfectionist Virgo nature, Good Queen Bess marched suitors from around the world in and out of her court for twenty-five years, eliminating each one for various and sundry reasons. They either were the wrong religion, not intelligent, too poor, too political, not powerful, or too powerful. Elizabeth nitpicked her way to spinsterhood as only a female Virgo can.
