>Did Queen Elizabeth I do anything important?

Anybody who replies to this thread is a retard, including me.

>>439926
Yes, Elizabeth I inspired Blackadder II after which the show stopped being okay and started being brilliant.

>>440091

How did she get away with it?

Did the Drevelians just not pay attention?

>Bury the first of the envoys alive
>Burn the next batch to death in a sauna
>Just fucking kill five thousand of them when they're stupid enough to accept a funeral invitation
>Kill everyone else with flaming pigeons

Its like that Kill Bill fanfiction I wrote in highschool

Look at it this way, if history remembered them enough to glorify them, they must have done something to stand out.
Even if its just performing a man's job in a man's world that still counts for something. Nowadays we are used to women in power, and therefor we retroactively question history's important women. We now hold them to the same standards as their male counterparts.And that's a good thing in our current time. But in their day the standards were different. Even a woman of high birth who lucked into a position of power could not afford to be weak in order to stay there.

tl;dr Judge them by the standards of their own time.

Agreed.

Man, she looks like a porn actress. Know any good historical cosplay porn? And don't you say GoT.

>>440927
It's from the miss universe thing. do you expect it to be accurate?

>>440962
I don't mind, except I'm in the mood for something more explicit now. So where do I find the porn starring her as Isabella?

>>440892
Why does she always have the yandere crazy eyes when she's holding the cross?

blackadder the 1st was the best though, only plebs disagree

>>442795
the best baldrick was in blackadder 2.
>edmund 1
>not a meme

>>442827
baldrick probably was best in series 2, but edmund I has more depth than people give him credit for

>>442837
butler>edmund the 1st.

Darling was the best in the trenches though.

>>442842
Percy =/= Darling

And it's not hard to be a better character than Percy but, all the same, I loved Darling's characterisation.

>>442795
the creators said in a documentary they disliked blackadder 1, don't know why
