**Queen Elizabeth**

Queen Elizabeth I, whose era was the golden age of England’s history, was the queen of England and Ireland between1558 and 1603 AD. She was born on 7 September 1553 as the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth I was very well educated (fluent in Greek, Latin, Italian, and French).

Also, she had the most fabulous talent in public speaking. Elizabeth I acceded to the throne on 17 November 1558. A year later, she advocated protestants. She maintained the authority of the Monarchy against the pressures of Parliament as well. Elizabeth I was an economical queen because she did not spend money to promote literature, art, and architecture.

By the time, Elizabeth I passed away on 24 March 1603. Later, King James I, the son of Mary, Queen of Scotland, acceded to the throne.
