Monarchy

There has not been a Queen (or King) of England since the year 1707.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and she was born on 21st April 1926.

"Bloody Mary" was a nickname given to Mary I of England, who was a staunch Catholic and who proposed to undo the move to Protestantism which took place in the reigns of her father Henry VIII and brother Edward VI. She used force to put down the supporters of Protestantism and put some of them to death, hence the moniker.

On Mary's death her sister Elizabeth succeeded to the throne and undid everything that Mary had done. Protestantism was restored and it was the Catholics who were put to death. However, Elizabeth was never called "Bloody Elizabeth".

Mary was not really in Shakespeare's time--she died 6 years before he was born. His parents would have remembered her well, however.

Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603. Now, what was your question?

Because she is the second queen to rule England of that name.

It has nothing to do with having children, or else William I, Richard I, Richard II, Edward VI, Mary I, Charles II, William III, Mary II, William IV and Edward VI would also not count for none ever had a legitimate child.

If you only count the ancestors of the current queen even less would count, since some had children, but they or their lines died out, like Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Richard III, Anne and George IV.

It made it so it could limit King John in 1215 and other furture kings' power. Its effects on england were that it gave the citizens some rights and forced the kings act according to law because if they didn't they could lose their status.

No one has succeeded Elizabeth 2 she's still queen but it's highly likely her son will become Charles3 when she does pass away!

yes she loves horses especially since her tenth birthday when her father bought her a pony. yes she loves horses especially since her tenth birthday when her father bought her a pony.

The political system that was headed by Queen Elizabeth II was a monarchy. Elizabeth has been acting Queen since her coronation in 1953.

Leona Lewis does not have any children as of yet. She is a popular British singer most probably known for her hit single "Bleeding Love". An interesting fact that when in Central London during a book signing she was punched by a crazed fan.

The Queen has very little actual power over Australia. Her representative in Australia, the Governor-General, has more power - but her role is mostly ceremonial. The Governor-General plays a symbolic role, representing the authority (provided by the Queen) for the government to rule.

The Governor-General has the power to summon parliament, call elections and appoint the Prime Minister (the Governor-General has a responsibility to appoint the person most likely to maintain the support of the House of Representatives). They also appoint other officials, such as High Court Justices.

Therefore the Queen, through the Governor-General, does have some power over Australia - but most of this is symbolic.

HM The Queen was born 21 April 1926. Therefore, as of 21 April 2012, she is 86.

Mary, Queen of Scots, gave birth to James VI of Scotland and was forced to abdicate the throne to him when he was 1. James VI became James I of England on the death of Elizabeth I. Then the crown went to his son Charles I, who was beheaded, once the monarchy was restored his son Charles II was put on the throne, followed by his brother James VII & II- who fled the country during the Glorious Revolution- at which time his daughter and her husband were invited to be Co- Monarchs William III and Mary II- had Mary died and William reigned alone (even though he was NOT in the direct succession it was the agreement of the government to allow him to rule with and then minus his wife. Had he had children after her death they would have been the next in line at which point it would have taken us away from the relations of Mary QUeen of Scots HOWEVER he never remarried or had children of his own so that NEVER happened). After William died his sister in law- the Sister of his wife and the Daughter of James VII and II. Once it was realized that she would never have a child survive into adulthood the Act of Settlement was passed which then backed UP the family line to the decendents of Sophia, Electress of Hanover and her Protestant decendents- Who's mother was the daughter of James VI and I and there for his grand daughter and the Great Grand Daughter of Mary, Queen of Scots, and through her the monarchs from George I until Elizabeth II all have decended. George I was a great great grandson of Mary Queen of Scots (from now on I'll list her as MQS), his son George II was the 3x great grandson of MQS, George III was the 5x great grandson of MQS, George IV was 6x great grandson as was his brother William IV. Their neice Victoria was 7x great grand daugher of MQS, her son Edward VII was 8x great grand son, his son George V was 9x great grandson, his son Edward VIII and his brother George VI were 10x great grandsons, and that makes Elizabeth her 11x great grand daughter of Mary Queen of Scots. People tend to discount women in history as "non-existent" and forget that women played the most important roles on the historical stage, but the men get all the attention! Through James VI & I daughter- which history largely forgets, and then her daughter who everyone else forgets about it seems (the first answer above for example) every Royal house in Europe is actually all decended from Mary Queen of Scots- thanks in large part to Victoria marrying her children and grandchildren off to everyone with a title at that time in Europe!

Bach when France was still a monarchy, French kings used to live in the palace of Versailles and in the numerous palaces and castles they owned : le Louvre, Fontainebleau, ...

Terry Deary was born January 3rd 1946.InSunderland.

Queen Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) was locked up in the Tower of London in March 1554 for 8 weeks, (when she was still Princess Elizabeth) on the orders of her half sister, Mary I (1516 - 1558). Mary was suspicious of Elizabeth and thought she might be the inspiration for plots against her.

When Mary I died in 1558, Elizabeth became Queen.

This question has already been posted. It's from Bermuda (as stated on the coin!) and is worth about 1 cent U.S.

Notes:

> There is a specific category for Coins and Currency that makes it much easier to find numismatic questions. This really doesn't have anything to do with checking accounts.

> Coins are said to be struck or minted rather than stamped. I don't know why, that's just what's done.

HM Queen Elizabeth II is still alive. Her Majesty was 83 this year.
