Question
Hello.
My questions is: Who was Elizabeth 1's(Queen of England) husband. It's like Duke of something? I think it starts with and O?? Help!
Thank you!

Answer
Hello Kate.

Queen  Elizabeth I was famously known as the Virgin Queen. (The American state of Virginia is named in her honour because of this)
This is because she never married at all.

There was a rumour that she secretly married Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, however, it is unlikely that this is true though Dudley was one of her favourites.

Hope this helps.
