(r. 1558-1603)
Queen Elizabeth I (Elizabeth Tudor) was Queen Of England from 1558 to 1603. She was considered very powerful, and also very loved. She had her differences with religion amongst her sister Queen Mary I and Mary Queen Of Scots, which became almost always a battle to hold her throne.
She was known as “The Virgin Queen”. because she chose not to marry. She grew up around men, and was taught many languages therefore making Elizabeth feel more than qualified to earn the Crown. Once she became queen after her sister Mary died, she was immediately ready to take the throne. She was attentive in council (all ran by men at the time), and was invested in the choices that were made. She was a natural born leader, and handled wars and government with class. Her reign lasted for 45 years.
