I am more powerful than my predecessor and have a sister named Elizabeth who is younger than I am.

Many come to visit me, but I no longer have a voice. Ghosts are my friends, legends are my stories, and history will be my memorial.
What a beautiful description of the Queen Mary

I was born in 1040. I fought the Moors. To inspire my troops, I had military books from Rome and Grece read aloud to them before battles.
I am an ancestor to every Monarch in Europe.
I was exiled in 1080 and turned mercinary and fought for the Moors.
I died of natural causes.
Who am I?

Who am I?...I am at times visible and at times invisible, I am wet and also dry, I am stepped upon many thousands of times, I am revered, I am loved, I am spit upon, I protect many from intrusion, I am looked upon with envy.
