Elizabeth I

 


Elizabeth IElizabeth I (1558-1603) is also known as The Virgin Queen and Good Queen Bess. She was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn and succeeded her half-sister, Mary I, to the throne. After many turbulent years, her long reign gave some much-needed stability to England. 

She never married, realising perhaps that by doing so she surrendered power and control over England to her husband. Instead she declared herself "married to England".

Elizabeth was a Protestant and England became a Protestant country again. This led to war with Spain and in 1588 the Spanish Armada was famously defeated off the coast of England. 

When she died without any children, the Scottish King (James VI) also became King of England, James I. Elizabeth was the last of the Tudor rulers.
