Queen Elizabeth I of England was the most desirable woman in all of Europe during her time. Read the story below.

Queen Elizabeth I of England was the most desirable woman in all of Europe during her time. She used her charm to bring her male-dominated court to her knees. Elizabeth literally formed "hard-to-get" and "friendzoned" all the rich young men who sought her hand in marriage.

She did not tell them "yes" nor "no". She did not draw them close nor did she put them afar. In fact, she gave them sweet nicknames.

Elizabeth called Burghley, her chief minister, her "spirit", her alleged lover, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, she called her "eyes". Amusingly, she called François, the Duke of Anjou, her "frog".

However, the Virgin Queen's physical charms began to fade as she was getting older and attention from these men was now being diverted to younger ladies of the court.

Elizabeth sensed this and she thought on how to regain her aura to still keep the attention of these men. So, she employed a dirty tactic to keep the male attention all to herself.

While Elizabeth appeared at court clothed in colourful and lavish gowns of rich materials, she compelled her ladies to wear only black or white dressing.

So, no matter how beautiful and attractive these ladies may be at court, no one could match the colourful Elizabeth as they were in a black and white uniform.

To test whether her plan was effective, Elizabeth then asked a French ambassador who visited her what he thought of her ladies.

He immediately protested that he was unable to "judge stars in the presence of the sun". The queen was satisfied. This was exactly the response she wanted.

Thus, Queen Elizabeth maintained this aura to her latter years by using excessive makeup and taking four hours to dress up in her colourful clothes. She was the queen bee. The star of England.

None of the ladies could match Elizabeth until she breathed her last on March 24, 1603. She was 69. She was never married. She never had children and the Tudor monarchy ended.

Her distant cousin, King James VI of Scotland, later James I of England became the new king.
