Queen Elizabeth 1st

Queen Elizabeth 1^st 7^th Sep. 1533- 24^th march 1603.

Queen Elizabeth the 1st was the queen of England from 1558-1603. She was daughter of Henrik the VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn.

She succeeded to the throne on her half-sister’s (Maria or Bloody Mary) death in November 1558. She was called the Virgin-queen because she never was married and Good Queen Bess because she was loved by so many.

One of her first moves as a queen was the establishment of an English protestant church of which she became the supreme governor. Her sister Maria didn’t like her because she supported the Protestants, and therefore Maria imprisoned her.

Her time as a queen was known as the “The Golden Age”, because she made England strong and prosperous.  Her follower was Jakob the 1^st 1603-1625.
