Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Factual error: The film's epilogue states that Elizabeth led England to an age of peace and prosperity. This might be true if people ignore the nine year insurrection in Ireland which consumed the final years of her reign and bankrupted her.

Suggested correction: It is true. Even if you don't ignore the insurrection, she still led England to an age of peace and prosperity. She just went on to live through events beyond that time of peace.

Factual error: In the beginning of the film, a variety of different suitors are presented to Elizabeth. Amongst them are Eric XIV of Sweden, reportedly "still madly in love [with her]". Even though he was born the same year as Elizabeth; when this film takes place, in 1585, he had already been dead for 8 years.
