Elizabeth I preceded James I as English Monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II was preceded by her father, King George VI, who reigned from December 11, 1936, until his death on February 6, 1952. Elizabeth ascended to the throne on the same day her father passed away. Her reign began on February 6, 1952, making her one of the longest-serving monarchs in British history.
The Elizabethan Age was named for Queen Elizabeth I. There was no king.
The queen typically refers to a reigning monarch, and her predecessor would be the monarch who ruled before her. For example, Queen Elizabeth II was preceded by her father, King George VI. In terms of current monarchs, the specific predecessor would depend on which queen is being referenced, as each monarchy has its own line of succession.
Queen Elizabeth II is not. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was.
The monarch before Queen Elizabeth II was King George VI (1936-1952). The last Queen before Elizabeth II was Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and the first Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) was of England not the United Kingdom. Because there has never been a Queen Elizabeth of Scotland it has been argued she should be titled Queen Elizabeth I in Scotland and II in England. Given the Crowns are joined it has been decided to name whichever is the highest of either country.
