|Lucius Malfoy I| c. 16th century - "Though hotly denied by
subsequent generations, there is ample evidence to suggest that
the first Lucius Malfoy was an unsuccessful aspirant to the hand
of Elizabeth I, and some wizarding historians allege that the
Queen's subsequent opposition to marriage was due to a jinx
placed upon her by the thwarted Malfoy." - —Lucius Malfoy I in
Malfoy family history[src] At some point during his life, he
aspired for the hand of Queen Elizabeth I of England. He was
unsuccessful in his attempt to woo her. Although never proven,
many wizarding historians believe this upset Lucius enough to
make him jinx the Queen, resulting in her well-known reluctant
behaviour towards marriage. This was denied by subsequent
generations of the Malfoy family, but there has never been solid
evidence to either belief. - The name Lucius may come from the
Roman dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla, who extra judiciously
executed his rivals. His name could also be a reference to the
Roman Emperor Lucius Domitius
