Was Queen Elizabeth a Virgin?

Was Queen Elizabeth a Virgen?

Most people think that it’s impossible that Queen Elizabeth was virgin, but   many writers said that the Queen’s virginity it was real.

In fact, a master in Tudor history said that  she couldn't openly take on lovers like a king would be able to as she was an unwed woman. She did have a rather 'interesting' friendship with two men, Robert Dudley and Robert Devereux, and public rumor of the time was that she had an affair with both men. When she came into the throne, she made Robert Dudley master of the horse, and was extremely flirtatious with him. Upon the death of his wife Amy, however, she publicly distanced herself from him, most likely to preserve her reputation, especially as it was rumored that he had killed his wife to marry the queen. Elizabeth later recommended Dudley to marry Mary, Queen of Scots, who turned him down on the basis that she would not take Elizabeth's lover. 

Robert Devereux was also given the title of Master of the Horse by Elizabeth, and was later sent to Ireland to defend English interests. He failed abysmally, and returned home in disgrace, where he led a rebellion against Elizabeth's council. He claimed that her advisors sought to rule through her and he believed she was worthy of ruling on her own. The queen later ordered him to be beheaded.
So, whether she was actually the virgin she claimed is unknown. She claimed she never married because her people were her children and her family, and she had no desire for another to control her children. So, in this sense, it would make sense for her to take lovers and not marry them.

Some people think that she was unlikely to be a virgin, but she knew how to play the courts, especially with her virginity, to her advantage.

Other specialist in the matter think that  Queen Elizabeth “may have made the equation that sexual involvement was inextricable linked with death”. After all, her mother  and her stepmother  had been executed for adultery, her grandmother  Elizabeth  of York had died  for puerperal fever. May be she also have scared  from sexual involvement, because sex inevitably could lead to childbirth  and in those days it was a risky business.
