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.

Excellent film!! I loved the 1st one too. I'm very looking forward to watching the 3rd part. If in the 1st film Robert Dudley and in the 2nd Walter Raleigh were the loved ones, surely, the new 3rd love will be Robert Deveraux.
