I don't normally tune in to The Simpsons, but last night I was flipping through and saw that the first 5 minute vignette of this episode was about Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh! Homer is Raleigh and Marge is Elizabeth Throckmorton. It was fantastic! Here's the episode:
The Simpsons 2020 - Four Great Women and a Manicure
I have always pictured King Phillip of Spain that way. Also, he had the best lines, like this one:
"Guard, take him away and put things inside of him."
"Nice things?"
"No, not nice things!"

My favorite: Someone call Beowulf! Grendel got in again!
That one was good. I sort of figured Moe was like Francis Walsingham maybe? Then again, this 5 minute cartoon might not have striven for total historical accuracy.
I also liked, "those uppity English food-boilers!"
Ahaha! Brilliant! Thanks for posting! Is the part where Homer/Raleigh and Marge/Bess are making out and Elizabeth gets all upset a reference to the ambiguous relationship between the queen and Bess in the film Elizabeth the Golden Age?
Its great to see that people are sharing quite profitable information with each other and now we can move our selves to a new era.
