 The Liz I Virginity thing 

I was trying to be helpful. I realize that the tone is that of a modern-day pediatrician or social worker, but that is, to some degree, my perspective.  Abortions were terribly dangerous back then but they were probably known to Elizabeth I because she seems like somebody who demanded facts rather than fairy tales from her Privy Council.  But if you would ""rather not talk about it"" because there is no data, I suppose the whole ""virginity"" section can go since it is all just speculation and context. Of course, that popular ""Virgin Queen"" label has to stick around even though it is just a label and tells us no facts about Liz. Your choice.

Honestly, do you think her advisors did not see fit to sit her down at an early age and ensure that she understood such matters just as bluntly and clearly as possible? They had the future of an entire Nation in their hands.   "
