Roberto announces his love for the title character of this opera in the duet "Shewas the picture of love," and the queen realizes that he is in love when she reveals she intends to marryFrancois I. The female lead in this opera is considered to be one of the composer's namesake "ThreeQueens," and that character declares that the English throne is tainted by a "vile bastard" and an "impuredaughter of Boleyn."
