Elizabeth R1971

Sir Amyas Paulet:
You have been brought Fotheringay to be examined by certain lords, and you are required to make answer to the grave charges that you did conspire to displace our sovereign lady Elizabeth of England, and to ruin her kingdom by the shedding of blood.

Mary Queen Scots:
Does Bess acknowledge me as true kin and rightful heir to her throne?

Sir Amyas Paulet:
No, ma'am. She does not.

Mary Queen Scots:
Then she has no claim on me. I am no subject, Paulet, but a queen. I owe England nothing.

Sir Amyas Paulet:
You would be wise, madam, to confess your grievous faults and crimes before you are brought to trial.

Mary Queen Scots:
I am not a child to be advised, thus. Keep your counsel, for I will have none of it.
