First, define 'family'. Would family only refer to her husband and their offspring? Or would you include inlaws, grandchildren, parents, siblings, cousins and so forth?

Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdoms and other Commonwealth Realms

is the child of George VI and his wife Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, commonly refered to as the Queen Mother.

She had a sister, now dead, the Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. George VI had several siblings, and the Princess Margaret had two chldren, who in turn have children of their own, creating cousins as well as both (grand-)nephews and neices.

However, this is a list of the very nearest family

HM King George VI (Father, Dead) and

HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (Mother, Dead)

HM The Queen (Elizabeth II) and

HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh (Husband)

HRH Princess Margaret, The Countess of Snowdon (Sister, Dead) and

Peter Phillips (Grandson) and

Savannah Phillips (Great Granddaughter)

Isla Phillips (Great Granddaughter)

Zara Tindall, née Phillips (Granddaughter) and

Michael Tindall

Direct blood relatives are in bold, in this list, and the list is in order of Succession, with the exception of Princess Margaret, who would be placed under Zara Tindall if it were a 'true' list.

Note that this is a very small list of the nearest relatives and direct decendants, with spouses, and no-where near the enormous list one could make it. The line of succession to the British throne, which requires relation by blood and thus could be said to be 'family', runs in the thousands of persons.

Who was the father of Queen Elizabeth I?

Queen Elizabeth I was the daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, the second Tudor monarch to grace the English throne. Born Henry Tudor in 1491 at Greenwich Palace, Henry VIII was the youngest son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Given his unfortunate birth order, he was never expected to become king. Life circumstances were not in his favour. It would only be upon his older brother's untimely death that he would find himself an heir to the throne. In his youth Henry was ambitious, energetic and intellectually gifted; a trait he most assuredly passed along to his daughter Elizabeth. When he was not busy with his studies and mastering multiple foreign languages, Henry enjoyed writing books and music and was an advocate for the arts. Although it is most likely a falsity, the composition "Greensleeves" is often attributed to Henry VIII. When he was 10, Henry attended the wedding celebration of his older brother, Arthur, and his bride, Catherine of Aragon. Like all heirs to the English throne, the couple travelled to Wales where they would live in matrimony. The unity, however, was short-lived, with Arthur passing away after four short months. Henry succeeded to the throne, bringing with him a young, vigorous spirit that would be lost in his later years. Henry inherited a stable realm from his father and interim ruler, but unlike other English monarchs, who were celebrated for noble war victories and raising England's status as a dominant European power, Henry is most often remembered for his six wives. Henry was not quite 18-years-old when he became king, but soon married his brother's widow. Catherine had only given Henry a daughter, Mary, born in 1516. This was unacceptable to Henry, who longed for a son and male heir. After divorcing Catherine, Henry married Anne Boleyn, who would later give birth to Elizabeth I. Like Catherine of Aragon, she, too, was unable to produce a son. Anne was executed for infidelity in 1536, allowing Henry to marry again; this time to Jane Seymour. She would also die, while giving birth to Henry's only living son, Edward VI. Henry took three more wives before his death: Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr, who was a caring queen and took adequate care of Henry and his children. Often shown as overweight and stern, Henry was a formidable father, and was the first English king that demanded being addressed as "Your Majesty." Despite being overshadowed by his love affairs, Henry managed to strengthen the monarchy and pass several important pieces of legislation that broke the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. England was united under his rule, yet Henry created many bitter enemies abroad. In the end it would be Elizabeth left to cope with her father's mixed legacy. Her father was Henry VIII. Henry VIII
Henry VIII was the father of Elizabeth I.

She was a Queen Consort, the wife of a King, but had none of his powers, nor was she in line to the throne. When George VI died, the throne passed to the next in line, Elizabeth II.

Why did Elizabeth not execute Mary queen of Scots?

Did Mary Queen of Scots deserve to be executed in 1587?

Mary Stewart was the daughter of King James V of Scotland. THAT IS WRONG!!!!!!! HER FATHER WAS ACTUALLY HENRY VIII <<< NO IT WASNT IT WAS JAMES ELIZBETH WAS HENRYS DAUGHTER HENRY WAS MARYS UNCLE AND ELIZABETH WAS HER COUSIN <<<< THAT ONE IS THE CORRECT ONE!!!!

She was the Queen of Scotland. But she was executed on February 8th 1587. We will now discover whether Mary deserved to die or whether she was executed unjustly.

At the trial in 1572 of Mary's crimes, Mary had no lawyer and since she wasn't there on time, they began without her! However, when she arrived, she denied all knowledge of her accusations. When they showed her the letters, she changed tack and accused Babington of setting her up. She never stood a chance. Even though she presented herself like a Queen, and held her case like a lawyer, the court was already decided. She was accused to be guilty.

Elizabeth hesitated to sign the death warrant of Mary Queen of Scots. She was probably worrying about all of the responses she would get from the other Catholic countries when they heard that the Catholic icon had been executed. They might have invaded and Elizabeth wouldn't have enough strength to stop them all. In fact one of them did in the form of the Armada and she just managed to repel one country! Elizabeth may have also had mixed feelings about ordering the execution of her blood relative even though she had been but a thorn in her side for many a year. Perhaps even, there were fake accusations and Elizabeth's conscience was objecting to condemning Mary to death for unreal reasons.

Parliament was also incredibly eager to condemn Mary because they probably thought she posed a threat to the throne of England and if she took the throne from Elizabeth, she would take all of Parliament's lives. For instance, they exaggerated in the trial by saying that Mary wanted the Duke of Norfolk to rebel against Elizabeth's orders that they were not to marry, when in fact, it was the Duke of Norfolk who urged Mary to go against Elizabeth's commands. Also, they made it plain that they did not like her by saying that she has 'wickedly challenged the crown of England'. The Queen's spymaster, Walsingham, kept trying to persuade Elizabeth to execute Mary probably because he was worried that if Mary took the throne, he would die.

However, when Mary was moved to Chartley, she found a way to code letters and send them in beer barrels. She sent messages to her friend, Lord Babington and he supplied them to her followers. Babington had a plot to kill Elizabeth and place Mary on the throne. Little did they both know, but the Queen's spymaster, Walsingham, was reading all of the letters and in the end he accused Mary and showed her the letters. So, she deserved to be executed for plotting with Babington to overthrow Elizabeth but in her trial she said that she was set up by Babington. The accusers also produced some letters that she 'apparently' kept in a box in her room but she argued that nobody would be stupid enough to keep their secret letters in plain view. Even so, since Mary was going along with the plot against Elizabeth and the plan to overthrow her, she deserved to be executed.

Also, Mary had a very strong claim to the English throne and therefore, her claim, scared Elizabeth because Mary was of royal blood and in fact was her cousin one time removed.

Mary even tried to get married to the Duke of Norfolk to strengthen her own claim to the throne. However, it didn't happen because Elizabeth banned the marriage. If it had been allowed to go ahead, perhaps Mary would be backed by England to ascend to the throne and Elizabeth would not allow that!

Mary was also a strict Catholic and did not hesitate to show her faith publicly. Elizabethan England was a protestant country and Elizabeth did not like Catholics at all! Mary's religion was a threat to her country and because Scotland had a Catholic leader, then Scotland could attack England in a religious war to try and turn England to Catholicism. As well as this problem, the Pope had excommunicated Elizabeth and called her a 'servant of wickedness'. He also encouraged Catholics to rise up against her. He also suggested Mary as a rightful ruler. Even though Elizabeth passed an Act that said that anyone following the Pope was a traitor, there was unrest amongst the people of England and Mary was proving to be troublesome.

In conclusion, I think that Mary deserved to be executed because she was conspiring with Babington and Ridolfi to overthrow the Queen and anyone who did that would usually be executed. Also, Mary was a Catholic and so could overthrow Elizabeth and have the support of all of the other Catholics in the country. However, Elizabeth did hesitate signing the death warrant because she was scared of all neighbouring countries invading. So I conclude that Mary deserved to die but England would have probably fared better if she hadn't have died because of all the events which occurred because of her death.

What did Elizabeth I think about Catholic and protestant?

Queen Elizabeth took power away from the Roman Catholic Church and created a tolerable religious community for the most part. She was Protestant Christian but enacted the Act of Supremacy, and Act of Uniformity. This was done in order to clear the name of England for its infamous policy of religious intolerance left to her by her half sister Bloody Mary. Unfortunately, this did not stop her from wanting to persecute the once ruling Catholics. Especially in Ireland, which was under English control. Cromwell was the harshest of Queen Elizabeth's followers, who supposedly made a game of the Catholic rebellion by challenging his soldiers to see how many babies heads they could spear.

During the Elizabethan era what did the people do for entertainment other then going to plays?

They would have had many forms of entertainment, some of them rather cruel to our modern sensibilities. For example, bear baiting, bull baiting, dog fighting, cockerel fighting, hunting (with dogs and hawks), jousting, dancing (Henry VIII and Elizabeth I loved dancing, and both danced well), music (again something Henry VIII and Elizabeth I excelled at).
