Now, I was rather interested by this, and decided to look for some further information on this event which, prior to finding that thread, I was unaware of. However, browsing through Google and typing in 'Was Queen Elizabeth I offered the Dutch Throne?' yields little results. So, therefore, I was wondering if anyone has a source as to whether Elizabeth I was indeed offered the Dutch throne?
(I am assuming that Before 1900 is indeed the correct place to post such a question - if not, then I apologise and shall request that it be moved to Chat or somewhere else more appropriate.)
