1 of 5

Who is the best candidate/who does she marry? And why?

Philip. Courtenay has been in the tower since aged six and is out of touch with govt where as Pole has been abroad since 1538 so is out of touch with British Politics. Plus he has the Spanish Empire behind him and will one day be king.
