2."I will never marry"the future Elizabeth I declared at the age of eight,and,to the terror of her people,the Great Queen kept her word.For four centuries,historians have guessed why Elizabeth never married.In her own day,her decision to remain single was considered absurd and dangerous.A queen needed a husband to make political decisions for her and to organize and lead her military campaigns.More importantly,she needed male heirs (继承人) to avoid a civil war after her death.
There was no shortage of suitors for the Queen,both English courtiers (朝臣) and foreign princes,and it was confidently expected for the best part of 30years that Elizabeth would eventually marry one of them.Indeed,although she insisted that she preferred the single state,she kept these suitors in a state of permanent expectation.This was a deliberate policy on the Queen's part,since by keeping foreign princes in hope,sometimes for a decade,she kept them friendly when they might otherwise have made war on her kingdom.
There were,indeed,good political reasons for her avoiding marriage.The disastrous union of her sister Mary I to Philip II of Spain had had an unwelcome foreign influence upon English politics.The English were generally prejudiced against the Queen taking a foreign husband,particularly a Catholic(天主教的) one.Yet if she married an English,jealousy might lead to the separation of the court.
She once pointed out that marriage seemed too uncertain a state for her.Her father,Henry VIII,had had her mother,Anne Boleyn,killed; her stepmother Catherine Howard later suffered the same fate.
Elizabeth had to decide her priorities.Marriage or being single?Elizabeth was far too intelligent.The choice she made was courageous and revolutionary,and,in the long run,the right one for England.
