The synopsis of Elizabeth: The Golden Age

The Golden Age finds Queen Elizabeth I always aware of the ever-changing religious and political tides of late 16th-century Europe, as well as attempts to take her throne, both by outsiders and family. Philip II of Spain openly challenges Queen Elizabeth I and is determined to bring Catholicism back to the English people.

Queen Elizabeth I finds herself preparing for a full-scale war with Spain while Sir Francis Walsingham continues to solidify Elizabeth's power at court, as well as abroad with intricate spy networks. Information uncovers a plot to assassinate Elizabeth I, with players including her own cousin Mary Stuart. Joining the power behind the throne is Sir Walter Raleigh, a seafaring traveler who opens up new interests for the Queen.

"Let them come with the armies of Hell! They will not pass!"
