To have a Kindom of Frengland, she could've waited for Henri de Navarre (later Henri IV, Roi de France) to pop up...

 

[LeopoldPhilippe]

One of the suitors was François, Duke of Alençon, the youngest son of King Henry II of France.
Elizabeth was fond of him and called him her frog. Marry him she did not.

 

[LeopoldPhilippe]

When Princess Elizabeth was seventeen, preliminary negotiations were taking place for her to marry Frederick, Crown Prince of Denmark.

It could still be interesting to create a Frengland.

Imperial Ambassador Simon Renard proposed that Princess Elizabeth should be married, preferably to a Spanish candidate, and should live abroad.
The primary candidate was Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy and Prince of Piedmont.
Elizabeth refused to entertain the marriage.
She knew that she would have the support of the Council, who would oppose any attempt to have her married abroad to a Spanish nobleman.
