Did Queen Elizabeth I go to school?
Elizabeth I was a remarkably bright queen, who had a love of learning and received an exemplary education. Although her childhood became tremulous after the death of her mother in 1536, when her father, Henry VIII, married his sixth wife, Catherine Parr, Elizabeth I was presented with noble educational opportunities. Among aristocratic families of England it was commonplace to provide daughters with the same level of education as sons. Elizabeth was fortunate to receive schooling on the same calibre as that of her half-brother, Edward. A series of admired tutors were called upon to help propel Elizabeth's education. These great minds, many from Cambridge University, laid the foundations for an intellectual gifted future queen. Much credit can be given to Elizabeth's first tutor and governess, Katherine Champernowne, whom Elizabeth referred to as Kat. Having been well-educated herself, Kat taught Elizabeth I in the areas of language, religion, grammar, rhetoric, logic, philosophy, literature, geography, history, mathematics and astronomy. This wide range of scholarly lessons, divided between morning and afternoon sessions, was standard curriculum for children born of royalty. With quick wit and determination, Elizabeth progressed in her studies rapidly, and by the age of five or six, had a confident grasp of reading and writing far beyond her years. The rate at which Elizabeth mastered her lessons began challenging Kat's level of instruction. Edward's tutors were quick to respond to Elizabeth's lively requests for assistance. Roger Ascham, a decorated Cambridge graduate, was subsequently assigned as a personal tutor to Elizabeth in 1548. Under Ascham's direction, Elizabeth was educated using the texts of Cicero, Isocrates and Sophocles, among others, for the purpose of encouraging the "moral fortitude" required of a monarch. Ascham was renowned for using an educational method called "double translation," which fostered Elizabeth's overwhelming command of both written and spoken Latin. Her ability to grasp and retain exotic languages was phenomenal. It is said that by age 11 Elizabeth was able to speak six languages fluently: Latin, Greek, French, Italian, Spanish and English. When ambassadors and statesmen called upon the royal family, Elizabeth brilliantly addressed them in their native tongues. In addition to her educational studies, Elizabeth was also groomed in proper etiquette, mannerisms and subservience of elders, custom of sixteenth century aristocracy, and participated in artistic and sports endeavours such as dancing, music, archery, sewing, horse riding and hunting. Elizabeth's early instruction went on to serve her well later in her reigning years; articulate when spoken and purposeful when written. In the last decades of her life, Elizabeth was credited for masterfully translating Boethius' De Cosolatione Philosophy into perfect English. The impeccable translation is testament to her superior education and training, and also to the divine intellect of a most amazing queen.
Elizabeth I did not attend a school or university but she was highly educated by some of the brightest tutors from Cambridge University, at her household in Hatfield. Hatfield was considered to be a satellite of Cambridge University. Princess Elizabeth was an extremely bright child and a great deal of attention was paid to her education.

Who was more beautiful Elizabeth I or Mary Queen of Scots?
Both were considered beautiful at the time, although I believe that Mary was said to be a bit more pretty of the two.
It is an extremely interesting questions because both women possed an almost identical colouring. Both had long thick lustrous glossy red-gold hair, large and expressive dark sexually magnetic eyes, an extremely fine pale complexion and rosy lips. And both had very slender figures. Although personally I think Mary Stuart being ten years younger then Elizabeth and also having a very cozened lifestyle, especially compared to the emotionally unstable and traumatic lifestyle of Elizabeth, was the prettier of the two. Elizabeth's features,although beautiful were often very hard and strong. And whereof Mary dressed in colours that emphasised her beauty. Elizabeth would often dress to make a political point of view.

What happened to poor people during Elizabeths I's reign?
Not all people were poor. The rich were very rich and most landowners were not poor but their tenants were and most manual workers, (most of the population), were poor.
If you don't have a rich family and you have to earn your wage by manual work, and in those days that meant agricultural work, you are tied to a landowner who pays you and owns your house. If you cause any problems to your landlord, you lose your job and your home, and there's always someone who will step into your job for a smaller wage because that is better than living in the open with no money at all.

Anne Boleyn (c1501 - 1536), second wife of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) and mother of Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603), was found guilty on trumped up charges of adultery, incest and witchcraft, and sentenced to death.
She was beheaded at the Tower of London, on 19 May 1536, even joking the night before about how slim her neck was. Anne was beheaded with one stroke, executed by an expert French swordsman who Henry had ordered, to give her a quick and more merciful execution.

Her grave was originally unmarked, but during Victorian renovations her remains were identified and there is now a marker over her resting place.

During the Elizabethan era how did they celebrate holidays?
During the Celebration of the Midsummer Night people would build bonfires. Some of the bonfires would have "bones" thrown into them to burn. They would also dance around the bonfires and feast. Some people would pick flowers, mainly roses, and if they lasted till Christmas day then it would be considered a sign of good fortune. Lovers often leapt over the bonfire hand in hand, which was believed to bring them good luck - and those who desired a certain partner often performed love rites or special spells designed to bring them their desires. One of the love rights was that if a maiden didn't eat on Midsummer Eve then set a table with a white tablecloth, placing on it bread, cheese and beer, the man she would (eventually) marry or his ghost would come and have supper with her.
