Elizabeth I

Queen Elizabeth I of England was born on September 7, 1533 and died on March 24, 1603. Queen Elizabeth I of England would have been 69 years old at the time of death or 481 years old today.

England hasn't had its own queen since Elizabeth 1 over 400 years ago. In 1853, Queen Victoria was queen of the United Kingdom (which includes England), queen of the British Empire and Empress of India.

Since when Shakespeare was alive it was thought shameful for women to perform in plays,young boys would act the female characters.This was because they were young enough that their voices hadn't broken yet,so they were still high enough to seem like those of women.

God Only knows. it is known she was never married. she did have many men of the Court- Nobles so to speak ( Raleigh, Sir Essex) whom she was certainly more than merely friendly with for services to the Crown. The phrase Virgin Queen was in currency, and even the state of Virginia derives its name from this. it is perhaps fitting she died on Lady Day ( March 25,) in l603 which is the Annunciation, a minor church holiday honoring the Blessed Virgin- St. Mary. By the Way the un-numbered Consort Queen Mary ( namesake of the ocean liner) also died on March 25, of l953.

They were used to it. Shakespeare built on a tradition of tragedies, and his audience would have been familiar with the most popular Elizabethan play of all, Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, which featured a man being murdered onstage in the presence of his lover, a man being hanged while convinced to the last second that he has been pardoned, a stage play in which some of the actors are really murdered and one really commits suicide (in front of their parents), and finally a man who bites out his own tongue and spits it on the stage. Other playwrights wrote similarly juicy revenge tragedies. At the same time anyone who had been to grammar school had read the extremely gory and violent tragedies of the Roman playwright Seneca, and there were contemporaries of Shakespeare who imitated the Senecan style, Ben Jonson for one. Besides, the realities of violence were well known to the audience. It was a rough time, and people did not whitewash the facts of life.

Elizabeth I became queen on 17 November 1558, at the age of 25.

James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, Queen of Scots, became King James I of England upon the death of Elizabeth I because he was her closest living relative. James was related to Elizabeth through her aunt, Henry VIII's sister, Margaret Tudor. Margaret was James' great-great grandmother and as Elizabeth had no children, he was the next in line for the English throne. With James' succession, began the House of Stuart.

Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII's sister, married James IV of Scotland who begat James V, who married Marie de Guise from France, and begat Mary, Queen of Scots, the mother of James VI, who eventually became James I of England.

The Queen Elizabeth I has two roles. The two roles were the head of the nation and the head of state.

Actually, no. Shakespeare's plays attended her. She did occasionally have plays performed before her at court, and there is record that Love's Labour's Lost was performed at court at Christmas 1597.

Lizzy's Bennet's ideal vision of marriage is one where, in addition to being in love with ones spouse, there is a mutual respect for each other, and a meeting of minds.

The Tudor dynasty or House of Tudor was a prominent European royal house of Welsh origin that ruled the Kingdom of England and its realms, including the Lordship and Kingdom of Ireland, from 1485 until 1603. Its first monarch was Henry Tudor, a descendant through his father, although ultimately not male line, of the rulers of the Welsh Kingdom of Deheubarth. Through his mother he descended from a legitimized branch of the English royal House of Lancaster. The Tudor family rose to power in the wake of the Wars of the Roses, which left the House of Lancaster, to which the Tudors were aligned, extirpated.

No, she ruled in England and Ireland.

Amongst her most notable victories, Queen Elizabeth I successfully restored England to the Protestant faith. Many plots to overtake Elizabeth and convert the country back to Catholicism were devised, but failed. Mary, Queen of Scots, a devout Catholic and Elizabeth's cousin, was at the heart of these schemes. The likely successor of Elizabeth, Mary was imprisoned for 19 years for her role in the rebellion. This made her an attractive potential pawn for the likes of enemies such as Phillip II, King of Spain. Yet Mary would never be used to gain a foothold against Elizabeth, as she was executed in 1587. With the death of Mary and having no children of her own, Elizabeth was succeeded by the Protestant James VI of Scotland, son of Mary Queen of Scots, who later became King James I of England.

Elizabeth was a good queen actually she was a great queen cause she done everything for her country and people, she stood with her armies on battles leading from the front . she joined both Churches and she changed the mind of the Parliament about a female ruler.

Bloody Mary as she was known was a devout catholic, so she would kill anyone who did not agree with her beliefs, she would burn or behead anyone who opposed her views, especially the protestants who tried to oppose her.

Queen Elizabeth I would be a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. Both Elizabeths are descentants of Henry VII.

Elizabeth I was the granddaughter of Henry VII through her father Henry VIII. Elizabeth II is a direct descendant of his through his daughter Margaret, Queen of Scotland and her great-grandson James I-who was the great-grandfather of George I-who is the 9th great grandfather of Elizabeth II

First of all, she didn't want to get married - so she there was no definite heir. Secondly, she agreed to execute Mary, Queen of Scots. Thirdly, she had too many advisors, so some had different opinions and disagreed with each other. Fourthly, she made Catholics hate her even more by torturing the ones who upset her. Lastly - and worst of them all - she argued strongly against the Pope and the Pope had her excommunicated to all of the churches in England.

Queen Elizabeth I was urged by her advisors to quickly marry and produce an heir to the throne so that it would not fall to Mary Stuart. Despite their best efforts, Elizabeth would remain childless and unmarried. She turned down multiple proposals, including one from Prince Philip II of Spain - not Prince Philip I. This infuriated the King who later sent his Spanish Armada to invade England. The attempt would prove fruitless, with Elizabeth's Royal Navy defeating Philip's fleet.

Elizabeth the 1st was remembered because the strengthening England, She fought against the Spanish Navy " The Armanda" and England was out numbered and had to used fishing boats to help with the battle. The English won the battle in 1588. Also she execution Mary, Queen of Scots in 1587.

Queen Elizabeth the first (b1558 - d 1603) didn't have any children and therefore no grandchildren. Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (b1936 - d 2002) has 6 grandchildren. Queen Elizabeth (b 1926 ) the second had four children and she has eight grandchildren. They are Princes William and Harry (Prince Charles/Princess Diana), Peter and Zara Phillips (Princess Anne/Mark Phillips), Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie (Prince Andrew/Sarah Ferguson), Lady Louise Windsor and Viscount James Severn (Prince Edward/Sophie Helen).

No, she has been having some heart problems, but nothing fatal. Globe magazine and the other trashy tabloids, will exaggerate to make a good story. There is a good chance she will be with us for another 5 years or so.
