very good point Sir Brian!
I also can't help but wonder if she's read anything on Queen Elizabeth, Joan of Arc, or Grace O'Malley, or even some of the first ladies that have inspired America in its past and present. All of those ladies had strength, fortitude, and valor. All of them personifying to me, at least, knightly chivalric virtues in some cases, based on their own merits. Let alone the men that worshiped some of them. I can't help but love the "romance" in Elizabeth: The Golden Age between QE, and Sir Francis Drake, played magnificently by Clive Owen.
