A filthy protestant lesbian

Maybe she was barren and she knew it.

She is part French in some way meaning she is 100% gay. Only difference beetwen her and the French are they did hide it until the revolution.

Either she was barren, a lesbian, or aware that whomever would have been accepted as her husband would have received enough support from her opponents to marginalize her.

Which would you rather have - the country or the dicc?

The most important duty of any monarch is simply to preserve the stability of the present dynasty by producing a worthy heir to the throne.

She had a very convenient heir in James Stuart, and she apparently preferred the country to the dicc. Why should she have bothered with marriage?

In doing so, she relinquishes a significant amount of her power--if not all of it, if said king manages to get enough force behind him, which was not at all unreasonable in the context of the political situation in Europe at the time.

And to add, she was in a very delicate situation. She was a hereditary English queen. Whom should she marry? Marrying a foreigner would have made her extremely unpopular, and the few foreign suitors she did entertain were treated to such opposition from her ministers and the people that she could not go through with them. She probably would have married Anjou if not for her ministers vehement opposition, claiming that the entire English populace would rise against her if she did. But can she marry an English subject? If so, she is elevating that subject to the level of king... and while a king marrying a subject makes her queen, it doesn't carry the same connotation.
