Drake is an interesting figure in British History and one with great ability to change the course of things and so I put it to you, even coming from such a lowly background, would it have been possible for Francis Drake to marry Queen Elizabeth. If Drake's wife dies before the wedding takes place and with his renown and fortune by 1580, could a late marriage have taken place? If one wanted to be more ambitious, why not have Drake gain more renown earlier, say a great expedition and victory by 1570-1575.

Is his comparatively lowly stock too much of a contributor? Or could Drake's fame and popularity escalate him onto the throne?
