Elizabeth I

Her tempermental father Henry VIII, married six times. Divorcing his first wife Catherine of Aragon, and making their child, Mary, illegitimate. He married his second wife, Anne Boleyn, but after a few years he had her executed and also declared their daughter, Elizabeth, illegitimate. His third wife he married straight away after Anne's execution, she was Jane Seymour. Jane died just after childbirth giving birth to Edward. His fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, was a disaster, he only married her for political means, but he considered her too ugly and wouldn't consumate the marriage, calling her a Flanders Mare. His fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was a great deal younger than him, but he loved her dearly. She was accused of adultery and also executed. His sixth, and last wife, Catherine Parr, had been married a few times before, so she was an older more wiser person. She outlived Henry. Even after Henry there was turmoil, as his sickly son Edward VI came to the throne, he died when he was 16. An upstart from the Tudor line, Lady Jane Grey, was put on the throne, but eventually toppled by the true queen, Mary I, and Jane was executed. Mary was not a popular queen because of her extreme religious beliefs. She even had her sister Elizabeth put in the Tower of London because she did not trust her. Imagine the terror for Elizabeth when you consider that's where her own mother was imprisoned and executed. Eventually, when Mary died, Elizabeth I came to the throne. It is not surprising then, given all the upset throughout these periods, that there was so much dysfunction in the family. Mary and Elizabeth must have had a miserable existence after their mothers were no longer wanted by Henry. Although he was reconciled with them before he died, and encouraged in this first by Jane Seymour, and then at the end by Catherine Parr. But it was a boy Henry wanted and when he died, he asked to be buried next to Jane Seymour in the Chapel at Windsor Castle - after all, she had provided a son.

Well Britain is a famous country, so she would become famous for being the head of state. Its like asking how did George Bush become famous.

Her religious policy was moderate, acceptable to everyone but extreme Catholics and extreme Puritans. Most of her subjects were more than happy with her settlement. (Her brother Edward had run things as an extreme Calvinist Protestant, her sister Mary Tudor as an extreme and bigoted Catholic. Neither was popular.)

She famously stated that she had no wish to have a mirror into men's souls - in other words she was *relatively* tolerant in an intolerant world. Compare and contrast to Philip II of Spain. Lord Howard of Effingham, who commanded her navy against the Armada, was a Roman Catholic.

She was also extremely skilled at picking effective ministers - and playing them off against one another so that she remained in charge.

They use to play with either there nannies/people who were looking after them or there brothers/sisters. They played with fancy toys etc... rocking horse, board games, dolls (rarely)

Depends how far you want to go back; Before Queen Elizabeth I was Mary I her half sister (father - Henry VIII Mother - Catherine of Aragon Prior to that for 9 days was Lady Jane Grey Before that was Edward VI (father - Henry VIII Mother Jane Seymour) Before Edward was Henry VIII. His father was Henry VII who united the houses of Lancaster and York. (war of the roses) AFTER ELIZABETH James VI of Scotland who became James I of England (Mary Queen of Scots son.) James VI and I reign saw the end of the Tudor dynasty and beginning of the Stuart dynasty which continued till William of Orange obviously with Oliver Cromwell as the exception.

she acted very cold and was reserved. Not many of them got to actually see her because she was very careful with her public image. No one could paint the queen unless she herself approved it. if anyone painted her in a bad light they would be hung

Did he want to marry a woman who was 22 years older than him? I think not. But he needed her to think so, for he could use her financial support in the Netherlands.

Elizabeth likewise thought it necessary to start the negotiations for the marriage because she was afraid of Alençon gaining to much power in the Netherlands. This way she had more control over Alençon and his actions. Plus she told Spain, (the Netherlands used to be part of the Spanish empire) that she was only discussing a possible marriage to Alençon because she wanted Alençon to leave the Netherlands. The Spanish were naturally keen on this, and so Elizabeth tried to make friends with Spain.

It therefore seems to have been purely a political game.

However it has been said that they were in love. They wrote each other a lot of letters, Elizabeth gave him a nickname and Alençon was the only one of Elizabeth's suitors to visit her.

No-one can know for sure whether they ever really intended to go forward with the marriage. But if Elizabeth ever intended to marry it was when Alençon was her suitor.

. But I'm sure you can find more if you search the web... 'cause I'm not an expert or anything.

Queen Elizabeth 1st sponsored voyages to go to America because she wanted to become more powerful and have more gold/riches. Also if she sponsored voyages to America because she is the Queen she would be able to claim anything they found ie. new land, gold and riches and new food (mainly spices).

I hoped this helped!!!!

No, she's right handed. Her father, King George was left handed, as is her grandson Prince William.

some people dis liked her for many reasons and people like her for reasons.....also because shes hardly done anything for us...apart from maybe politics but not all of us are allowed to vote 4 who gets to be priminister.

In 1588 he took out the entire spanish armada.

Intreasting fact: he took out the entire armada with 1 ship. How? He set it on fire with no one on board and drove it right into the ships setting fire to one spreading to another and so on.

Henry VIII had three children; Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. Edward ruled after Henry. When Edward died, Mary took over. When Mary died, Elizabeth took over.

So the answer is Mary I.

Elizabeth Savage, who was best known as Miss Elizabeth, was a professional wrestling manager from Kentucky. Elizabeth died from an alcohol and drugs overdose on May 1, 2003.

daughter of anne Boleyn,second wife of Henry the 8th.

Elizabeth I of England and Mary, Queen of Scots were cousins.

Queen Elizabeth gave him an agreement, or charter to begin a colony

Queen Elizabeth I - that's why it is known as the Elizabethan age! She reigned from 1558 to 1603.

Yes, it was the era of Queen Elizabeth's reign.

Yes, Prince James or James VI. Who became James I of England after the death of Queen Elizabeth I.

Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) 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, watching jousts, theatre, card games, dice, board games such as chess, dancing (Henry VIII and Elizabeth I loved dancing, and both danced well), music (again something Henry VIII and Elizabeth I excelled at).

Many politicians and diplomats etc kept saying that Elizabeth I should get married. She did not want to because she was doing well governing England - if she married her husband would inevitably have interfered with her governing. Also, by marrying, she would have allied England with one or another European faction, and she wanted to keep England's options open.

Health and hygiene was quite bad in Elizabethan England. Times were hard - people only bathed once or twice a year! Even Queen Elizabeth didn't wash more than twice a year...maybe only once! They didn't have soap, and only rinsed dishes out with water, rather than our modern, much more hygienic habits of using liquid soap.

People washed so little because there was very little running water except from rivers or streams. People used wells; taps were non-existant, so gaining access to clean water was much more difficult then it is today.

This lack of hygiene and living in a close community meant that illnesses spread like wildfire and were very hard to snuff out. People's 'cures' for diseases didn't help either; in fact they usually made illnesses worse...or killed the person altogether.

An example of a disease is the plague (also known as the 'Black Death', although this was during the Medievil Period). Bubonic plague was the most common; people fell in in days and had black boils on their body. Hundreds of thousands of people died from the disease; thousands in London alone every day.

Many people worked outside for a living; on farms or servants for the richer folk. In the country especially, the people lived in close partnership with their animals - which is also not very hygienic.

So, in conclusion, the people in Elizabethan England were not very hygienic at all...

I hope this helps

Elizabeth I was 2 years (32 months) old when her mother Anne Boleyn was executed. She was born September 7, 1533 and her mother was executed by Henry VIII on May 19, 1536, ostensibly for adultery and witchcraft. Anne had miscarried three times following Elizabeth's birth and Henry, desperate for a male heir, moved on to his third wife, Jane Seymour.

The list of executions under the Tudor reign of Elizabeth I is pretty extensive, but here are some of the most notable ones: +Mary, Queen of Scots (1587), for treason. +Thomas Percy (1572), for treason. +Cuthbert Mayne (1577), stated that the queen would never be head of the English church +Dr. John Story (1571), high treason. +John Penry (1593), Puritan who instigated rebellion.
