What were the costumes and props like in the Elizabethan era?

Yes they did, everything from stage blood to trap doors (even thunder and lightning). The Globe theatre actually burnt down because they fired a cannon onstage for a performance of Henry VIII).

Though plays that featured stage effects for the purpose of spectacle (just to draw an audience) didn't really start happening until after the restoration (second half of the 17th century).

How did Queen Elizabeth treat those who did not believe in her religion?

It depends on the King or Queen, but all claimed to be chosen by God. Their religion actually gave them their authority so they generally took such things very seriously.

AnswerDifferent monarchs reacted differently. Chinese kings even welcomed Christian and Buddhist missionaries at first, allowing them to seek converts among the people who followed the earlier traditional religion, Confucianism and Daoism. Christian kings tended to react more harshly.

Kathleen Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, said, "Charlemagne converted whole tribes by the sword." In the year 782 alone, the Frankish king Charlemagne reputedly beheaded forty five hundred Saxons who resisted his campaign of forced conversion to Christianity. Later, the Spanish monarchs instituted the Spanish Inquisition to deal with those even suspected of secretly being Jews or Muslims.

Was Elizabeth I a lesbian?

Elizabeth's Sexual PreferenceThere is no evidence that Queen Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) was a lesbian. Although she did not marry or have children, and was nicknamed The Virgin Queen because of this, it is well documented that she enjoyed the flirtatious company of young men. When you consider the fate of her mother, Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded by her father, Henry VIII, it is not surprising that Elizabeth might have been reluctant to consider marriage.

Elizabeth maintained that she was married to England, and dedicated her life to serving her country. One of the replies she sent back to Parliament, after she was urged to consider marriage, was:

"At present it is not convenient; nor never shall be without some peril unto you and certain danger unto me."

She was always being requested to think about marriage by her advisers, in order to secure the succession, and did consider marriage to two French princes, Henri, Duke of Anjou, and then later his brother, Francois, Duke of Anjou. Francois courted Elizabeth later in life (1579), despite there being an age difference, as she was 46 and he was 24, but nothing came of the courtship.

The love of Elizabeth's life does appear to have been Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester (1532 - 1588), but Dudley was already married. Dudley's first wife, Amy Robsart, died in suspicious circumstances (she fell down the stairs at their home, and broke her neck), which proved difficult for Elizabeth and Dudley because of the inevitable rumours. Later Dudley married a cousin of Elizabeth's, Lettice Knollys (the mother of Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex) which infuriated Elizabeth, but she did forgive Dudley.

After Dudley died, and much later in her life, Elizabeth took a shine to his stepson, the rather arrogant Robert Devereux (1565 - 1601), but this took a tragic turn when he was accused of treason against the Queen and eventually tried and executed.

When Elizabeth died in 1603, Dudley's last letter to her was found amongst personal her belongings, and she had endorsed it with "his last letter."

Who was elizabeth 1 heir?

No she was not a man.

Apart from anything else, there were general feelings at the time that a woman should not be Queen in her own right, other than as the wife of the King. Had she been male, she had no motive to pretend to be female.

There are sufficient persistant issues warranting investigation, which resulted in a TV documentary. It should be noted that a lot of this material is speculation based on further speculation.

In her last will and testament, Elizabeth forbade the performing of an autopsy on her body, and no autopsy was performed. This is a fact and gives rise to suspicion.

Elizabeth wore very heavy makeup and very high collars on her garments. These are facts and in view of the previous, gives rise to further suspicion.

Although contemporary artists may have understandably been kind to her, many of her portraits show pronounced male facial features.

She was never married, at least not in any public way, it was suspected that she may have married secretly.

The speculation begins -

She wore heavy makeup to conceal facial hair, similar to a mans.

She wore high collars to conceal an "adam's apple, similar to a mans.

There is also speculation from a number of sources including her some of her "ladies" and her "very close gentlemen friends" that she had an extremely well developed and large protruding clitoris not altogether unlike a penis.

It should be clearly noted that this is all speculation and will almost certainly never be proven.

How did not marrying help Elizabeth I?

By not marrying, Elizabeth was able to stay focused on business at hand - without the distractions of having to raise children or look after a family. Being single also afforded her a more powerful role, without the influence of a King by her side. It has been speculated that leaving herself 'eligible' as a wife may also have kept foreign powers from attacking England - as foreign Kings would not want to attack a nation ruled by a woman that they would possibly one day pursue.

What elementary school did Queen Elizabeth go to?

A series of admired tutors were called upon to help propel Elizabeth's education - she did not attend a traditional school. 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.

Who was the portrait 'Lady with Ermine' painted for?

Painted in 1585, by Nicholas Hilliard and on show in Hatfield House, the portrait shows an ermine standing on her lower arm. The ermine is a symbol of royalty, and it wears a crown around its neck. The crown is a symbol of majesty and purity. The Queen can be seen to be wearing the Three Brothers, a jewel made of three diamonds in a triangle around a pointed diamond. It was said to be of her most loved jewels. Beside the Queen rests the Sword of State symbolising justice, and she holds an olive branch to symbolise peace.
