Who took care of Queen Elizabeth I?
The childhood of the first Queen Elizabeth was ravaged by misfortune. Born to Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boyeln, in 1533, Elizabeth I was the last of the Tudor dynasty. Longing for a son and a suitable heir, Elizabeth's birth brought great disappointment to the King and was frowned upon by an entire nation. Henry had already produced a daughter, Mary, with his first wife and the news of Elizabeth's arrival was humiliating. Although there were no laws against a female successor in England, it was an unpopular notion and considered by many offensive. Elizabeth's childhood would only grow more complicated. After the birth of Elizabeth and the miscarriage of a son, Henry tired of Anne and began spending his time with other women. In 1536 Elizabeth's mother was beheaded on charges of adultery; thought to have been by fabricated by Henry to make way for a third wife. Like Mary before her, upon her mother's execution

Prince Edward became the official heir to the throne under the1543 Act of Succession. Henry did not have any additional children, yet he married three more times. His wives included Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr, who was a fair Queen and chose to raise Elizabeth and Mary in the royal household. Despite a precarious childhood, Elizabeth received a superior education. It was common practice among the upper classes to educate daughters as well as sons. Taught by well-known scholars, including Roger Asham, Elizabeth excelled in her studies and had an amazing capacity for seeking and retaining knowledge. A portrait of Elizabeth from those years shows a fair-skinned girl with auburn hair and childlike eyes, wearing a simple crimson gown decorated effortlessly with few jewels. Elizabeth indeed had royal blood, but was still a child. Henry VIII's multiple marriages created problems in succession; however, it would be a twist of politics that would change the outlook for Elizabeth's chances of becoming queen. In 1544, an Act of Parliament allowed both Mary and Elizabeth to be reinstated, given "that the King should and might give, will, limit, assign, appoint or dispose the said imperial Crown and the other premises
