Henry VIII was Elizabeth's father. Her mother was Anne Boleyn, Henry's second wife, who he had executed when Elizabeth was two years old. Eliabeth's half-brother, Edward VI, attempted to exclude Elizabeth and her sister Mary from the throne, but failed. Elizabeth survived prosecution and interrogation under her sister's pro-Catholic reign, but succeeded in becoming the only recourse to Anglicans and royals alike.
