QUEEN ELIZABETH I
Elizabeth I – the last Tudor monarch – was born at Greenwich on 7th September 1533.
Elizabeth, was the daughter of Henry VIII, and his second wife, Anne Boleyn.
Elizabeth’s early life was full of uncertainties, and her chances of succeeding to the throne seemed very slight once her half-brother Edward was born in 1537.
She was then third in line to the throne, behind her Roman Catholic half-sister, Princess Mary.
Elizabeth succeeded to the throne on her half-sister’s death, in November 1558.
Her 45-year reign is generally considered one of the most glorious in English history.
Elizabeth established a secure Church of England, and a compromise between Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism.
