i am right at the moment watching the movie elisabeth, with cate blanchett, and i was wondering how elisabeth I is actually regarded by english people? english people who listen to morrissey, specifically.
i know morrissey immensely dislikes the monarchy, and it makes me wonder if all royal historical figures are regarded as embarassing tyrants too, or if people with socialist leanings (me for example) believe any were good leaders.
i apologize for being ignorant, i blame the deficient american school system. i learned in excruciating detail about the usa's mere 200 and some years of "noteworthy" events while being told virtually nothing about the THOUSANDS of years of things that happened in the rest of the world. everything i know i learned from movies! (kidding! half maybe)
p.s. i already know maggie thatcher is evil, i am not counting her or anyone else so recently in power and yes, i do know she was not the queen
