In 1998, I was at a Renaissance Faire in Pennsylvania for a school trip. It was set in Elizabethan times, and the main event of the day, the Ultimate Joust, had an actor playing Queen Elizabeth I there. However, she was referred to as "Queen Elizabeth," and the Queen of England at that time was Queen Elizabeth II. I honestly thought that the *current* Queen of England, Elizabeth II, was actually at that joust, especially since I had no idea what she looked like back then.
