Part 1 explores Elizabeth's tempestuous relationship with the Earl of Leicester as it survives a French suitor, war, treason and illness. Part 2 follows Elizabeth through her later years, during which she has an equally passionate affair with the young, ambitious Earl of Essex, who had been raised, ironically, by his stepfather Leicester.
