If Queen Elizabeth I had not been a virgin, would the state above NC be named "Conjugalia" today?

"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser; in fees, expenses and waste of time." -- Abraham Lincoln, (1809-1865) Lawyer and President who saved the United States.
"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
Whoristan has a nice ring to it.
"The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked." INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983) (Burger, C.J.)
Putitinya.
I like Slutsylvania myself.

next time "history" is made outside a cheesebag, revisionist Ron Reagan Rebublican theory of the world called TV history....you let me know.

If it makes any difference, most historians agree Elizabeth probably wasn't actually a virgin. If Thomas Seymour didn't knock a chunk off of that, then Robert Dudley almost certainly did.
I bet monitoring her wikipedia entry is a full-time job.
eta: I hear her appetite for sex, however, was . . . um . . . unbridled.

I'm not happy until you're not happy.
the Holy Roman Empire was not holy, Roman, or imperial.
Hohio.
Thinking about it, the state motto of "Virginia Is for Lovers" just doesn't jibe. Rather contradictory. WHORISTAN Is for Lovers makes much more sense.

Wake up man. History, perhaps more so than any other discipline, is very subjective. Even contemporary first-person accounts are skewed by the writers/diarists/interviewees point-of-view and personal prejudices. I'm pretty sure you are aware of that fact. Ever play "post office?" Add to that the fact that the victor controls the field and typically writes the "definitive" history of a given event, and you have a recipe for a subjective account.
Where it not so, courts and lawyers wouldn't have to spend so much time engaged in discovery to ascertain what they ultimately settle on as the facts of a given case, and even then, a jury is still required to pick the winner from two competing versions of the truth.
