Queen Elizabeth is in love with the French Duke Alencon, and hopes to receive a marriage proposal. However since his return to France she has heard nothing further from him and suspects that his mother the French Queen Catherine de Medici has something to do with it. Elizabeth sends Drake to France to investigate. The French queen will stop at nothing to keep Drake from discovering the truth - that she has imprisoned her son in the Bastille to prevent any union with Elizabeth.
