Imagery from The Serpent Queen featuring Queen Elizabeth I
The Serpent Queen season 2 concluded with a shocking twist, setting the stage for a potentially explosive season 3. The episode, "All Saints Day," saw Anjou, a character previously thought to be a mere pawn in Catherine de’ Medici's grand scheme, emerge as a formidable character in his own right. With the death of Charles IX, Anjou's role as a potential heir to the French throne has become increasingly significant.
Elizabeth’s presence in the story suggests he could be a blend of the two Anjous. One was Hercule, later renamed François / Francis, Duke of Anjou. In the show, a child named Hercule died young, killed by the protestant cult. In reality, he would live until the age of 29 and court Elizabeth I. The other Anjou would become King Henry III, known for keeping male “mignons” and cross-dressing, as portrayed in Starz's The Serpent Queen.

Anjou wanted to increase his chances, sending an ambassador to England to woo Elizabeth – his close friend, Jean de Simier. He was sent to make an attractive impression verbally. This piqued Elizabeth’s interest more than mere letters. This would be a great source of increasing tension in season 3, with the customs of the cult of courtly love playing out.
