Elizabeth was born the "heiress presumptive" in 1533. She was declaredillegitimate before her mothers execution in 1536. This took her out of line to inherit the throne upon her fathers death. King Henry VIII wanted a male heir and his past 2 wives had been unable to provide him with one. At that point in history, men were viewed as the only sex capable of leading a nation. Elizabeth needed to be declared illegitimate as part of the process to allow Henry to marry his 3rd wife Jane Seymour.
