Elizabethan Trivia
Elizabeth is an alright name, I reckon, although I forget I am called it sometimes as nobody really uses it.
According to Wikipedia, there have been many Elizabeths (and Elisabeths) of note, including John the Baptist's mum (well actually she was an Elisheva, but that's how all the kids were spelling it back then), four saints, several empresses, two queens of England, two Belgian princesses and future queens of the Belgians, and lots of other queens and princesses scattered around the world.
There's also a whole stack of famous non-royal, non-saintly Elizabeths. One of these was the late Elizabeth Hulett aka pro wrestling manager "Miss Elizabeth", who was known as the First Lady of Wrestling and was married to "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Personally, if I was called Randy Savage and was a professional wrestler, I'd probably just stick with the name Randy Savage. She died in 2003 after overdoing the Xanax, steroids and vodka.
And who could forget Elizabeth, Electress Palestine and Queen of Bohemia? Also known as the Winter Queen and Queen of Hearts, she was born in 1596 and was the daughter of James VI of Scotland/James I England and Ireland. The gunpowder plotters wanted to kidnap her stick her on the throne when she was nine, so it's probably a good job they all got their heads chopped off instead. The sods.
Then there's Elisabeth, an erotic actress better known as Sexy Miss Lizz, Queen of Farts - a five foot fart fetishism specialist (which is funny, because I have a strong dislike of fart jokes) who was once filmed breaking wind on a cake. I think the term "erotic actress" is probably pushing it a bit in this case, but far be it from me to piss on her chips. Although maybe she's into that too.
The First Lady of Wrestling, the Queen of Hearts, the Queen of Farts. I wonder what they shall call me when I am gone...

Elizabeth the Jogger - Queen of Parks?
Don't forget my personal favourite, Lizzy Borden.
My sister is an Elizabeth and I was always so jealous that she had the cool name. There were just so many options. Poor love ended up with Liddlebits out of all of them!

Oooh that pic is weird. You look like a vision of Mary that would have devout Catholics the world over praying in front of you.
In fact, bung that pic on Ebay and say you think it's none other than the mother of god, and see how much money you make...
