Film: Elisabeth directed by Shekhar Kapur

A film from 1998 about the reign of Elisabeth the first.  It has historical backdrop of the Spanish Armada, but most of the film focuses around Elisabeth her lack of marriage and court intrigue.

It makes for a good film overall, a few liberties with history as always with Hollywood - you want to believe the speech delivered on horseback to rouse the troops was authentic, but surely not...
