Queen Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth received the offer of Philip's hand, qualified as it was, in the most gracious manner. She told the Ambassador, indeed, that in a matter of this kind she could take no step without consulting her Parliament. But his master might rest assured that, should she be induced to marry, there was no man she should prefer to him."—Prescott's Philip II.
