Where did Queen Elizabeth I rule?

Queen Elizabeth ruled England and Wales for 45 years. She ruled from 1558 - 1603. When her time finished King James took over. He ruled from 1603 - 1625. Please do not say that Queen Elizabeth ruled the "United Kingdom" because that did not exist for a hundred years after her death. She was never the queen of Scotland, which causes Scottish nationalists to refer to the current queen as "Queen Elizabeth the second of England and the first of Scotland." Good Queen Bess also had claims in Ireland, but it was difficult to establish her authority there. It was for this purpose that she sent the Earl of Essex there to defeat the Irish rebels, something he was too incompetent to do, and his failure led to his downfall and death.
