Speech to Her Troops at Tilbury
 To rally the troops as the Spanish Armada approached.
 Two primary problems with her reign.
 Female who refuses to marry
 Some people consider her illegitimate (daughter of Anne Boleyn)
 Kingship was considered divine right.
 How does Elizabeth use these prejudices (and others you
