Before Elizabeth delivered the speech, the English troops had already achieved a partial victory.

In her speech, Elizabeth commented on the allegation that a female monarch was weaker than a man and therefore not suited to lead the nation into war. Hence the probably most famous line from the Tilbury speech: "I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king." (This line may be understood against the cultural background of the [[one-sex model]] and the myth, or legal fiction, of the [[The King's Two Bodies\|king's two bodies]].)
