Princess Claude: You don’t want me to marry Martel either?
Queen Catherine: I had his father killed, do you think I want him rising in station?! [14]
Queen Catherine: Why Claude, how nice of you to take time out of your grievance to mock me. [1]
Queen Catherine: Charles if I could have a moment...
King Charles: Not now, I need some air.
Queen Catherine: While you can breathe while I talk. [1]
Queen Leeza: I received word from my husband, King Philip...

King Charles: What about the shame you've brought to this family? Not to mention this country and to God himself?!

Queen Catherine: Luc may appear to be a decent man. But I've learned never trust the beginning of a book. [3]

Once we rid this court of Leeza, I will help you deal with the consequences of your union to Luc, should there be any. If he ever lays a hand on you, I will get you out of this marriage.

(re: Charles converting to prostatism)

Lord Narcisse: I should have your entire family burned at the stake. [6]
Lady Lennox: We have much in common. Both mothers of kings, soon enough.
Queen Catherine: I meant great affection for Mary, Queen of Scots. Though, as to our sons, I suppose king consort is a kind of king.
Lady Lennox: I hear the same about young Charles, a "special" kind of king. [7]
Queen Catherine: I've learned not to put much stock in what "they" say. Just today, I heard that your son, well, he's been greeted with skepticism from the established royal families. It's a shame so few are willing to accept a royal upstart. [7]
Queen Catherine: My dear daughter, Leeza, she's the Queen of Spain, hopes you don't take her lack of attendance as a slight. She sent a full dining set of pure gold with her personal apologies. The gifts are always so telling, aren't they? Francis and Mary received 50 white stallions from the Portuguese royal family.
Lady Lennox: Nearly a hundred just arrived.
Queen Catherine: And King Sigmund of Poland, he couldn't make it?
Lady Lennox: He sent the crown prince in his stead. [7]

Queen Catherine: By taking out his brother with a ball full of rocks! [9]
Princess Claude: Mother, what in God’s name are you doing?!
Queen Catherine: It’s none of your business! What are you doing sneaking into my Chambers?
Princess Claude: Returning your earrings. And uncovering your pack with the Devil apparently. [10]
Queen Catherine: I was only trying to help Charles feel stronger.
Princess Claude: Are you telling me this heresy is the reason Charles has been so aggressive lately?
Queen Catherine: No! maybe. [10]
Princess Claude: I'm not gonna lie for you mother. That’s not who I am.
Queen Catherine: (snorts) Really. Since when? [10]
Queen Catherine: Leeza, my child, oh, it's been so long.
Queen Leeza: Spare me the pleasantries, Mother. I'm not here to see you. [12]
Queen Catherine: This is Stéphane Narcisse, he's the Lord Chancellor of France.
Stéphane, this is a witch that my pious daughter, Leeza, rounded up amongst other heretics.
Emanuelle: I didn’t care for her. Clearly, you didn’t either. [13]
Queen Catherine: Claude, this isn't your fault. Luc is gone, you are here, which means he abandoned you. [13]
Queen Catherine: Well, it’s not my usual form, but let me pay you how I planned. [13]
Queen Catherine: I have always put my children first. I have done terrible things! I have always done it for their good. But are they worth it?
Francis was. A noble decent man. And a good king. [13]
Queen Elizabeth

Gideon Blackburn: Elizabeth, you are safe. Your food is regularity tested for poison.
Queen Elizabeth: Perhaps I’d feel my safe if my court were regularity tested for poison. [10]
Gideon Blackburn: Julia and Bernard have a good life.
Queen Elizabeth:I envy them.. Although they are quite poor. Another powerless. And the clothes itch. [10]
Gideon Blackburn: Jane has done nothing. She is only guilty of being int he wrong place, at the wrong time. How will you feel with her blood on your hands?
Queen Elizabeth: Safe! And when you are the Queen of England. That is the only feeling that matters. [10]
Queen Elizabeth: And I can't bear to lose you.
Gideon Blackburn: Our affair puts you in danger.
Queen Elizabeth: I don't care.
Gideon Blackburn: I do! I mean, why risk so much with this affair when you'll eventually tire of it?
Queen Elizabeth: I won't ever tire of you. [11]
(re: Gideon Blackburn)
Queen Elizabeth: He is a long-term confidante. A skilled advisor and diplomat, whose journeys, for the Crown, have met with spectacular success.
Archduke Ferdinand: Who is in love with you.
Queen Elizabeth: Perhaps. I don't know. Many are. I'm the queen of England. I represent something glorious, for everyone. And if you want to banish every person who is dazzled by me, we'll be a nation of mainly women. [11]
Queen Elizabeth: You are more precious to me than my nation, and if I could give up England for you and survive, I would! [11]
Queen Elizabeth: I told the archduke I love you. And I told him I would never give you up.
Gideon Blackburn: Why would he agree to that?
Queen Elizabeth: His family's already taken advantage of his rise in station. He needs this marriage. And I need to marry him, but..
Gideon Blackburn: I know that.
Queen Elizabeth: But I will always, always be yours. [11]
Queen Elizabeth: His family's business depends on the gold it carries.
Jane: You're going to sink it?
Queen Elizabeth: No, I'm going to steal it. [12]
Queen Elizabeth: Speak! While there is still mercy in my heart! [12]
Queen Elizabeth: I am England! And I need no one to save me! Not from Spain. Not from the Chaotic Church. Not from anyone. I am Elizabeth Tudor and I will bow to no man. I will face ever threat to my reign with sword in hand. And any who shall stand in my way shall fall. [13]
(Final Worlds)
Queen Elizabeth: Because I cannot have her blood on my hands. And I cannot let her go. [13]
Greer
Lord Castleroy: You are Catholic. You could never marry again.
Lady Greer: Perhaps I have taken all the chances at love that I deserve. I’m sorry that I failed to love you in the way that you deserved. If you have found it with another, I won’t deny you your happiness... I release you from this marriage. [4]
Queen Mary: Greer. Bring Bothwell to me!
Lady Greer: I don’t want to leave you!
Queen Mary: Please! In case I need to say goodbye. [12]
Queen Mary: Greer. Greer, I love you.
Lady Greer: I love you too. [12]
Lord Narcisse
Lord Narcisse: I must admit, since first hearing of it I have given a great deal of thought to Claude in a nunnery.
Queen Catherine: Why?

Leith Bayard: Pay me what I ask. And their future is secure.
Lord Narcisse: Look how far you’ve come. Trading your heart to rise in station. I’ll draw up the papers. [5]
Lord Narcisse: Perhaps Charles would respond better to a strong male authority figure.
Queen Catherine: But in the absence of such a man, I will settle for you. [6]
Queen Catherine: You are King of France, and your sister the Queen of Spain is using your absence to threaten the sovereignty of our nation.
King Charles: Listen to yourself. You don't even care that I, your son, am alive, well and happy.
Queen Catherine: Alive and well and king of France!
King Charles: Only if I choose to return to court, which I don't!
Lord Narcisse: …Perhaps we should all...Stop talking. Before this delicious soup gets cold. [6]
(re: Charles converting to prostatism)
Queen Catherine: This is your fault.
Lord Narcisse: I should have your entire family burned at the stake. [6]
Nicole: Now that I know how things really work around here. I'm interested in getting to know you better.
Lord Narcisse: I don't blame you, I'm a fascinating man. But the question is. Why should I be interested in you? [6]
Queen Catherine: I was starting to think you didn't have it in you.
Lord Narcisse: Oh, I played her masterfully. And all it cost me was the desecration of Lola's memory. [8]
Lord Narcisse: Foolish Henri. You had a chance to make amends tonight, but you squandered it. Now I see no other option but to inform Spain their prized pony, dabbles in the occult.
Prince Henri: Or…You could do nothing. [9]
Lord Narcisse: But let me offer some advice: next time you threaten someone, make sure you have proof. A theory is nothing more than a feather. [9]
Lord Narcisse: Henri is a King! Look at him! In the few weeks, he has been here, he has already shown more confidence, cunning and boldness than Charles has, and ever will!
Queen Catherine: By taking out his brother with a ball full of rocks! [9]
Lord Narcisse: I am on no one's side, but my own. [9]
Lord Narcisse: I didn't kill him, but justice needed to be done.
Queen Mary: You're a monster.
Lord Narcisse: No. Just a man. One who wanted revenge. As did you, if I recall.
Queen Mary: This vile act will not ease your pain!
Lord Narcisse: Mary, revenge is not meant to ease pain. It is meant to balance the scales. [11]
Queen Mary: He was an innocent man! Gideon didn't deserve his fate.
Lord Narcisse: But Elizabeth did! She loved Gideon, deeply, with all her heart, and now, she knows what it feels like to lose the one she loved the most.
Queen Mary: So the scales are balanced. Get out. Get out of my Court! [11]
Queen Catherine: Tell me, how is Mary?
Lord Narcisse: Struggling to maintain her throne. [13]
Princess Claude
Queen Catherine: It’s fine. A daughter joining her mother for an evening stroll is hardly a crime.
Princess Claude: No, but murder is! [14]
Queen Catherine: The tears might be a bit much.
Princess Claude: The tears are real! [14]
Queen Catherine: Charles will put his weight behind this!
Lord Narcisse: Well then perhaps I shall withhold my news from the huntsman.
Queen Catherine: And perhaps I shall have your throat slit in your sleep. Or have the villagers do it for me when they come for us to root out the beast we have protected. [4]
Leith Bayard: We never got to see that vineyard in Tuscany.
Princess Claude: What if we met there? A year from tonight. Leith, in a year, everything will be different. I'll have an heir, I-I'll never have to be with Luc again.
Leith Bayard: Claude...
Princess Claude: I won’t fall in love with him. I promise!! Please have faith in me.
Leith Bayard: I'll try. [5]
Princess Claude: Luc, you're a good man. But you should know... I'm not in love with you.
Luc Narcisse: I'm not in love with you either.
Princess Claude: (Smiles) [9]

Queen Catherine: It’s none of your business! What are you doing sneaking into my Chambers?
Princess Claude: Returning your earrings. And uncovering your pack with the Devil apparently. [10]
Queen Catherine: I was only trying to help Charles feel stronger.
Princess Claude: Are you telling me this heresy is the reason Charles has been so aggressive lately?
Queen Catherine: No! maybe. [10]
Princess Claude: I'm not gonna lie for you mother. That’s not who I am.
Queen Catherine: (snorts) Really. Since when? [10]
Queen Leeza: I suppose there's nothing to be done... Except, stay for the King’s wedding.
Pince Henri: You can’t be serious Leeza!
Princess Claude: I was almost sent to a nunnery for following my heart! [12]
Luc Narcisse: You should go to Leith.
Princess Claude: What? I-I can't. You and I are married. Until death do us part.
Luc Narcisse: If you stay, it's your heart that will die. So will mine. As much as I've wanted this marriage to work, it can't. You love another. [12]
Princess Claude: I lost both the man I love and the man I could have loved. [13]
Gideon Blackburn
Gideon Blackburn: I'm asking you to marry me. but I’m begging you to save your own life. [2]

Queen Elizabeth: Why were you up all night with a child?

Queen Elizabeth: And I can't bear to lose you.
Gideon Blackburn: Our affair puts you in danger.
Queen Elizabeth: I don't care.
Gideon Blackburn: I do! I mean, why risk so much with this affair when you'll eventually tire of it?
Queen Elizabeth: I won't ever tire of you. [11]
Gideon Blackburn: You're so clever. Your lies come so easily. In time, you'll think less of even me for believing them. [11]
Queen Elizabeth: I told the archduke I love you. And I told him I would never give you up.
Gideon Blackburn: Why would he agree to that?
Queen Elizabeth: His family's already taken advantage of his rise in station. He needs this marriage. And I need to marry him, but..
Gideon Blackburn: I know that.
Queen Elizabeth: But I will always, always be yours. [11]
James Stuart
James Stuart: You invited me here because you think of me, as often as I think of you.
Emily Knox: Sir. You are too bold. [3]
James Stuart: He does have his father’s history to overcome. You knew that when you chose him.

King Darnley: My son you mean... My God, I think I left him somewhere! [13]
Queen Leeza

Nicole Touchet: You think Narcisse is manipulating me?

Nicole Touchet: You don't know what you're talking about. Thanks for the stroll.
Prince Henri: He doesn't love you any more than you love my brother. Meet me tomorrow, I'll prove it to you before he breaks your heart. [16]

Lord Taylor: Fists then. A boxing match. If you win, I bend the knee. But if I win, you will withdraw your marriage offer to Queen Mary. [4]
Lord Taylor: I intend to make an example out of you, Lord Darnley. See, bastards and cheaters are not welcome on the Scottish throne. [4]
David Rizzio: You will have love or an heir, but not both. If you choose a child, it will be a son, and he will rule both nations. England and Scotland, united at last, and in peace. This is your fate. [15]
John Hawkins: I brought something back called a turkey. Ugly bird, to be sure, but quite delicious.
Queen Elizabeth: Ah, yes. My guards warned me of the large, angry chicken. They've deemed it unsafe. [15]
John Hawkins: Fruit from the New World! It's called a tomato!
Queen Elizabeth: This is a fruit?
John Hawkins: Some say vegetable. Standing argument. [15]
Lord Bothwell: Lie to me again, and I will open you up right here, in your own house. [9]
Guard: If you have a baby that isn’t yours, you’ll hang, unless you cooperate. [13]
Queen Catherine: This is Stéphane Narcisse, he's the Lord Chancellor of France.
Stéphane, this is a witch that my pious daughter, Leeza, rounded up amongst other heretics.
Emanuelle: I didn’t care for her. Clearly, you didn’t either. [13]
Emanuelle: Don't worry. Spain will still be a bother, but its queen won't be a problem much longer. Complications with her third child. A girl. [13]
Emanuelle: Nicole is inches from the grave. She just doesn’t know it yet.
Queen Catherine: Then you'll have your money and your freedom. [13]
Emanuelle: The key to your survival, should you choose it, is your daughter, Margot. Blood will flow, but it won't be yours, if you have Margot at your side. [13]
John Knox: Men will never willingly bow to the weaker sex.
Queen Mary: And they will suffer greatly for it. [13]
