Women in History

Elizabeth, the last Tudor monarch, was born in Greenwich on 7 September 1533. She was the daughter of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. When Elizabeth was just two years old, her mother was beheaded¹ for adultery and she was exiled² from court. In later years Catherine Parr, Henry's sixth wife, took a keen³ interest in the young Elizabeth and made sure⁴ that she was educated to the highest⁵ standards⁶.

In 1553, Elizabeth's older half-sister Mary became queen. Mary was determined to re-establish⁷ Catholicism in England and viewed⁸ the Protestant Elizabeth as a direct threat⁹. Elizabeth was briefly¹⁰ imprisoned¹¹ in the Tower of London in 1554 following a failed rebellion, of which she claimed no knowledge.

In November 1558, after the death of Mary I, Elizabeth succeeded to the throne. Some see Elizabeth’s 45-year reign as a golden age¹² of English history. She was a shrewd¹³ and intelligent woman who was fluent in six languages.

The arts flourished¹⁴ in England during this period as¹⁵ William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser and Christopher Marlowe created poetry and drama while composers such as Thomas Byrd and William Tallis worked in Elizabeth’s court.

Elizabeth built a large navy¹⁶, which explored the world. In 1588, Spain sent many ships¹⁷, called the Spanish Armada, to take over¹⁸ England. Elizabeth sent her large navy¹⁶ to fight the Spanish. England won the battle, which is one of the most important battles¹⁹ in English history.

Elizabeth never married and died on 24th March 1603.
