She never forgave Princess Elizabeth for wanting to marry Richard after she was promised to Henry Vll. It really was the real life version of the game of thrones. I think anyone that was a serf back then counted their blessings. I know I would.

Would Elizabeth--or any young noblewoman of the time--have expected anything other than an arranged marriage advantageous to her family? Seems to me that if you expect to be married off to someone, becoming queen would be quite a consolation prize.
Don't know Game of Thrones at all.
