Trivia / Elizabeth R

• Dawson Casting: Historically François of Alençon was twenty-two years younger than Elizabeth; she was forty-six and he was twenty-four during their marriage negotiations. Michael Williams and Glenda Jackson were only one year apart, and both were in their mid-thirties during filming. This leads to an odd moment when Elizabeth says she's old enough to be François's mother, while looking the exact same age as him.
