Bastarda

... where Elizabeth, on her royal tour, stops at Leicester Castle. There we meet her great love, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who has secretly married Amy Robsart. A love triangle unfolds, reminiscent of a past situation in which Jane Seymour was the love rival of Elizabeth’s mother, Anne Boleyn. Meanwhile, Elizabeth’s own cousin, the Catholic Mary Stuart of Scotland, has become her political rival.
