Intro
Queen Elizabeth I was notoriously obsessed with creating a public image of a dutiful and powerful monarch. Her appearance and participation in festivals of various kinds played an important role in creating this reputation. This image is a good example of royal propaganda, portraying Elizabeth I riding in a golden chariot, a beautiful mythological queen demanding the loyalty and respect of her people.
