Monarchy

Queen Elizabeth was the second daughter of Henry VIII of England. She ruled for over forty years and she known as the "Virgin Queen" and the era in which she reigned was named the "Golden Age".

She was born in Scotland, but sent to France at the age of 5 years old for her safety. She married the dauphin in 1558(heir to the French throne) when she was 15 or 16 and became the Queen of France a year later. But her husband died in 1560. She came back to Scotland in 1561 to start her rule poper (she had been Queen since just a baby and the country had been ruled by regents until she was old enough.) She married again in 1565 - her cousin Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, he was the father of her son James - the future James VI and I. Lord Darnley was killed in 1567, Mary married the earl of Bothwell soon after. This was controversial as Bothwell was suspected of murdering Darnley. There was an uprising against this and Mary was imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle and forced to abdicate in favour of her baby son. She escaped to England hoping her second-cousin Queen Elizabeth would help restore her to her throne. Instead she ended up in English custody and began a period of almost twenty years of behind held in various manors/castles - among them was Carslise Castle, Sheffield Castle and Fotheringhay - where she was tried and executed.

A Royal event, like a wedding or a birthday, must be carefully coordinated among many different schedules. Consequently, the official birthday celebrations are moved to a convenient date somewhere near the actual date, sort of the way the USA has Monday holidays to provide three-day weekends.

Elizabeth was born the "heiress presumptive" in 1533. She was declaredillegitimate before her mothers execution in 1536. This took her out of line to inherit the throne upon her fathers death. King Henry VIII wanted a male heir and his past 2 wives had been unable to provide him with one. At that point in history, men were viewed as the only sex capable of leading a nation. Elizabeth needed to be declared illegitimate as part of the process to allow Henry to marry his 3rd wife Jane Seymour.

Elizabeth I came to the throne in 1558 after the death of her older half sister, Mary I. The true succession of the children of Henry VIII after he died, were: Edward VI, Mary I and then Elizabeth I.
She inherited the throne from her half sister queen Mary (bloody Mary) who died childless.

The House of Windsor is the name taken in 1917 by the House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha during World War I. They have ruled the United Kingdon of Great Britain and Ireland since 1901, and since 1922 the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Kindom of England ceased to exist with the Act of Union of 1707, so there has never been a Windsor monarch of England.

No, due to how rich King james was and how not rich Shakespeare was. They would not be personally acquainted, as kings did not mix with players socially. But the King certainly had heard of Shakespeare since he was a huge fan of the drama and had sponsored the playing company of which Shakespeare was a prominent member. They would have pass by each other but not have a proper conversation.

He was King of England, the father of two future kings of England, a good warrior, and the reason for the murder of Thomas Becket.

As a matter of fact, whether Kate is dead or alive, she can never be queen (as Elizabeth is now) She will be "called" queen, but cannot assume the throne as she does not come from the royal line of kings. Her kids, on the other hand, are William's children and thus can assume the throne (in birth order)
