She believed in independence for herself and her country.
Elizabeth the First was a devout Protestant, who sought to establish a firm base for the (then) new Church Of England. She discouraged Catholicism, and ordered many Catholic agitators to be executed, though stopped short of torturing and executing ordinary Catholic believers who kept their faith to themselves and made no trouble for the State.
In political terms, she was in favour of protecting England's economic and diplomatic interests at all costs, as well as maintaining Britain as the dominant European naval power and keeping Spanish military capability subdued. She saw Britain as a great force for enlightenment and civilization in the world, that could bring prosperity, happiness and progress to all peoples who accepted English supremacy and who agreed with its values. Sadly, this ideal was only sometimes borne out in practice.

Shakespeare was born during the reign of Elizabeth I, younger daughter of King Henry VIII, the second Tudor king. Queen Elizabeth was a remarkable woman in many ways: she was multilingual, being fluent in Latin, English, Italian and French, an excellent musician like her father, a wily politician and bold speaker. Perhaps most remarkable about her is that she is the only English Queen Regnant who never married, as she did not want to make the political commitment that a marriage would imply, nor deal with the political problems of a husband who might think he was the ruler, not she. Her policies tended to be indecisive, as she hoped that time would solve her problems before she was obliged to take a side. However, she could not avoid sentencing her cousin Mary of Scotland to death for persistent plots against her, nor war with Spain. It was during the Spanish attempt to invade England that she made one of the most remarkable speeches in all human history on Tilbury Plain. Queen Elizabeth could and did swear like a trooper and frequently bullied the men on her council.
She expected Catholics (and others) to keep their religion private. She considered it a private matter as long as it did not interfere with the State.
