Queen Elizabeth I was born on the September 7, in Greenwich England.
Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of the England who ruled for 45 years
in1603.

Event She was the daughter of King Henry VIII


and Anne Boleyn. Her unfortunate mother was beheaded on 19 May
1536 when Elizabeth was still an infant. Her father died in 1547 an he
was succeeded by his son Edward. He died in 1553. Elizabeth was very
birght and learned to read and write in many different languages. She
also learned how to sew and ply piano like musical instrument caled the
virginal. Elizabeth was crowened Queen of England on January 15, 1559
at the age of twenty-five.
Elizabeth was raised much like any other royal child. She received
tutoring and excelled at languages and music. After her father's death in
1547, Elizabeth spent some time under the care of her stepmother
Catherine Parr. Parr hired tutors on Elizabeth's behalf, including William
Grindal and Roger Ascham. Tensions with Parr over Parr's new husband,
Thomas Seymour, led Elizabeth to return to the royal estate at Hatfield,
away from the court. Her relationship with Seymour later came under
scrutiny, and Seymour was later tried for conspiring to wed Elizabeth in
a bid to gain power. Found guilty, Seymour was executed.
Elizabeth once again found herself embroiled in political intrigue after
Edward's death in 1553. Her older half-sister Mary and their cousin,
Lady Jane Grey, both were in line for the crown. Edward had appointed
Grey to be his successor, but her reign proved to be short-lived. Mary
gained the support of the English people and unseated Grey after only
nine days on the throne.

In 1558, Elizabeth took the reins of her country after the death of her
sister. She inherited a number of problems stirred up by Mary. The
country was at war with France, which proved to be a tremendous drain
on the royal coffers. There was also great tension between different
religious factions after Mary worked to restore England to Roman
Catholicism by any means necessary. In fact, she earned the nickname
Bloody Mary for ordering the execution of 300 Protestants as heretics.

Reorientation Queen Elizabeth drew her final breath


on March 24, 1603, at Richmond Palace in Surrey. With her death came
the end of the house of Tudor, a royal family that had ruled England
since the late 1400s. The son of her former rival, Mary Stuart,
succeeded her on the throne as James I.

While the end of her reign had been difficult, Elizabeth has largely been
remembered as being a queen who supported her people. Her lengthy
time on the throne provided her subjects with stability and consistency,
and her sharp wits and clever mind helped navigate the nation through
religious and political challenges. Sometimes referred to as the Golden
Age, the arts had a chance to blossom with Elizabeth's support.
