Summary Elizabeth meets her most eligible suitor yet: François, Duke of Alençon, the younger brother of the French king. A marriage will cement France's sought-for alliance with England. Despite the Puritans' rousing opposition in the country (of which her zealously anti-Catholic councillor Sir Francis Walsingham secretly approves), Elizabeth seems taken with the witty and flower-tongued François. As her duties as queen clash with her feelings as a woman, Elizabeth faces her toughest decision.
