You meant well, perhaps...
:09:04
...but my rewards are for unselfish effort,
not for things half or meanly done.

:09:15
Sir Walter Raleigh.
:09:23
From today, you take rank
as commander of our guard.

:09:31
My Lord Howard.
:09:36
Your Majesty.
:09:38
In grateful return
for what you tried to do at Cádiz...

:09:41
...without thought of self
and only for your country's honor...

:09:45
...I appoint you lord lieutenant,
general of all England...

:09:48
...commander of my army and my fleet,
and name you Earl of Nottingham.

:09:54
Your Majesty.
:09:56
- That's impossible.
- Keep silent.

:09:58
I will not. Do you intend this Earl
of Nottingham to take precedence over me?

:10:02
He'll take precedence over you
as he did in wisdom at Cádiz.

:10:05
You were in command and abused it,
with Essex first and England second.

:10:09
Think that if you will, but it's an injustice
you place Howard before me.

:10:13
- I feel you have no right.
- I have... I have no right?

:10:18
As a queen, yes. But as a woman,
do I mean nothing to you?

:10:25
Nothing.
:10:30
Lord Essex!
:10:45
Do you dare turn your back
on Elizabeth of England?

:10:50
You dare?
:10:54
I would not have taken that
from the king, your father.

:10:58
Much less will I accept it
from a king in petticoats.
