OIUL406- Persons of Note- Queen Elizabeth I





  • Henry VIII's Daughter
  • Declared illegitimate after beheading of her mother and denied throne.
  • Became queen at 25 after her half brother, forgotten his name, and someone else, maybe Mary 1st died.
  • Seemed fairly sound, liked people liking her.
  • Reinstated Church of England, told the pope to do one.
  • Defeated Spanish Armada, not her directly but she was Queen at the time.
  • Discovered a few places. Again, not her, someone else did it.
  • Never got married, so everyone assumed she was a virgin (Virgin Queen).
Thoughts
Although Queen Liz number 1 definitely did some stuff, its all very dry.
