==Episodes== {{Episode table |background=#749F7E |overall=6 |title=30 |airdate=20 |episodes= {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 1 |Title = The Lion's Cub |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|1971|2|17|df=y}} |ShortSummary = The succession of the boy king [[Edward VI]] heralds dangerous times for the young Princess Elizabeth. Having narrowly avoided implication in Sir [[Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley|Thomas Seymour]]'s attempted abduction of Edward, she becomes an unintentional figurehead for a [[Protestant]] rebellion led by [[Thomas Wyatt the Younger]] when her half-sister Queen [[Mary I]], a devout [[Roman Catholic]], succeeds to the throne. |LineColor = 749F7E }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 2 |Title = The Marriage Game |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|1971|2|24|df=y}} |ShortSummary = The new queen [[Elizabeth I]] is 25 years old—and unmarried. Her Council—particularly the man she trusts most, Sir [[William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley|William Cecil]]—urges her to marry quickly to ensure the succession. Only Lord [[Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester|Robert Dudley]], at first her Master of the Horse, and eventually the [[Earl of Leicester]], seems to interest the queen. |LineColor = 749F7E }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 3 |Title = Shadow in the Sun |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|1971|3|3|df=y}} |ShortSummary = Elizabeth meets her most eligible suitor yet: [[Francis, Duke of Alençon]], the younger brother of the French king. A marriage will cement France's sought-for alliance with England. Despite the Puritans' rousing of opposition in the country (which her zealously anti-Catholic councillor Sir [[Francis Walsingham]] secretly approves of), Elizabeth seems taken with the witty and flower-tongued Francis. Her duties as queen clashing with her feelings as a woman, Elizabeth faces her toughest decision. |LineColor = 749F7E }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 4 |Title = Horrible Conspiracies |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|1971|3|10|df=y}} |ShortSummary = As long as the imprisoned [[Mary, Queen of Scots]] lives, she is the focus of plotters and revolutionaries. Despite a clampdown against conspiring Roman Catholics, Mary (Elizabeth's prisoner for nearly twenty years), inspires an attempt to overthrow Elizabeth. Elizabeth fears Mary's death will condemn her in the eyes of God. |LineColor = 749F7E }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 5 |Title = The Enterprise of England |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|1971|3|17|df=y}} |ShortSummary = The infirm King [[Philip II of Spain]] is eager to avenge the death of Mary, Queen of Scots. Philip orders an unprepared fleet, commanded by the inexperienced Duke of Medina Sidonia, to sail on England. Even as Elizabeth rebukes the hawks ([[privateer]]s) in her council (both Walsingham and Sir [[Francis Drake]]), with her hopes of peace, the [[Spanish Armada]] appears on the horizons of England. Her fate and the future of the country now lie in the hands of Drake and the Navy. |LineColor = 749F7E }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 6 |Title = Sweet England's Pride |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|1971|3|24|df=y}} |ShortSummary = [[Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex]] is the people's champion. He and [[Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham|Charles Howard]] have been successful in capturing and sacking the Spanish seaport of [[Cádiz]]. Essex is given a great opportunity to rise in power by being made Lord Deputy of Ireland and quelling the uprising led by [[Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone|O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone]], but he squanders his army, makes an inglorious truce with O'Neill, and returns to England without permission. After his unsuccessful uprising against the queen in London, he is executed. The old queen shines in her final address to Parliament, but dies soon afterwards. Her last action is a nod to Robert Cecil to his query about her successor being King [[James VI of Scotland]]. |LineColor = 749F7E }} }}
