“I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.”
#OnThisDay, 19 Aug 1588*, Queen Elizabeth I of England addresses the troops at Tilbury as they prepare to defend England against the Spanish Armada.
Her reported speech is best seen as propaganda establishing her as a symbolic Britannia. https://www.elizabethfiles.com/the-spanish-armada-8-elizabeths-tilbury-speech/4065/

Earlier this week I visited #OldBeaupreCastle in the #ValeOfGlamorgan which seemed like a perfect subject for #WindowFriday. Its actually an old #Elizabethan fortified house which fell into disrepair after the Basset family lost most of their money, by backing the wrong side in the civil war. It appears bricking up many of the windows to avoid the window tax didn't save them enough money

Poking round the ruins of an Elizabethan country house today. The decay was sad, but somehow also beautiful…

Christopher Hatton was a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I & also became chancellor at Oxford University for 2 or 3 years before his early death.
He seems to have been a Justin Trudeau figure: hated by many simply because he was good looking, a good dancer, successful, even though his policies seem t’ve been progressive for the time, well thought-out, & successful

Without a doubt, I would say #TheDeeSanction, though that's the system mechanics more than the setting.
As well as running a bunch of #Elizabethan adventures, I used the system to run a 38-session game of #ImpossibleLandscapes last year.
Runner up would be the #CthulhuHack — and if I picked something I hadn't written, it would probably be #Symbaroum or #MERP — games that have engaged me at very different points in my gaming experience.
