Sacred Power

She vowed never to marry
and kept her word
illegitimate as her father to carry
victim not she deferred

Her mother died violently
for allegedly committing adultery
a father with mental disease silently
Borderline Personality Disorder blustery

They say she was a virgin
from childhood through her reign
and died of a mysterious surge in
after quite a rule was bane

She was succeeded by James VI
a Scottish King at first
her cousin he was fixed
and ruled despite conspiracy burst

Now the present Queen of England picking
related to Elizabeth I
is still alive and kicking
despite our political thirst

It appears that you are quite up-to-date with British history/royalty, Angela! Yes, it is said that Elizabeth I was a virgin queen, yet not everyone is of the same opinion! Lately I've been watching the series "The Crown" on netflix; I think you'll find it of interest. ~ Regards // paul

Are you from England? I feel sorry for Charlie, I wonder if he will ever be king lol! Is this a true story? I do not know much about the monarchy, as I am not a royalist..

I'm not from England, Silent One. I'm all American ;). I read a lot about Princesses and Queens growing up. It was always something I liked reading about. It is a true story. As for Charles, who knows? Have a great weekend :)
