Queen+Elizabeth

=﻿**Queen Elizabeth 1 of England**=

=
When Elizabeth's mother was executed, Elizabeth was striped off the title of princess and was now illegitimate. Some days after Boleyn's death, Henry VIII married Jane Seymour who finally gave birth to the son Henry so much wanted. However, some days after Prince Edward's birth, Seymour died and was given a royal burial by the King.=====

=
The Prince and Elizabeth had a very good relationship because of several reasons such as: their ages were not too different and they were both Protestant, while Elizabeth's relationship with Mary (her older sister) was very limited. After King Henry died, Edward ruled for a short time but died at the age of 11. This was a very hard blow to Elizabeth.=====

=
After Edward died, Mary 1 became queen. Mary was a Catholic queen and was also very suspicious about her sister. So when Mary married Prince Phillip of Spain, many people were not agreeing because Spain was the strongest power in the whole of Europe and they were afraid that England might fall under its rule as well. When Thomas Wyatt rebelled against their marriage, Mary suspected that Elizabeth had known of the plans so she was sent to the Tower of London until Mary decided that there was not enough evidence that Elizabeth was guilty of trying to kill Mary.=====

=
After Mary died, there were only two people left in the line to rule the country: Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots. Many people wanted Mary to be Queen because she would continue the Catholic line which Mary I started. So when Elizabeth Came to Power, many people rebelled against her and tried to kill her. One of the plots was planned by Mary Queen of Scots who Elizabeth very sadly had to execute.=====

=
When the Spanish heard about the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, they were not happy at all, so the Spanish King Phillip II was preparing to attack England and take over it. Elizabeth heard this and founded the English Navy, who won the battle against the powerful Spanish Armada.=====

After 40 years of successfully reigning England, Elizabeth I died of blood poisoning in the 24th of March in 1603.
Elizabeth was a great Queen. She showed that women can rule just as well as a man and do it even better.

//What inspired her?//
There have been some things that might have inspired Elizabeth to try and be such a good Queen. one of them might have been the brutality of the reigns of her father and sister, another thing might have been her maid Katherine Champernowne who took care of her all her long life, her stepmother Katherine Howard was a very kind and motherly person who was always there when Elizabeth needed her. The last thing that might have inspired her could have been her very difficult childhood ( kept changing mothers and was an illegitimate at the age of three) but except that, we do not know what could have inspired her.

//Why is she considered a groundbreaker?//
Elizabeth is considered a groundbreaker because she was a very good Queen and person who took care of her country and people. She is also considered a groundbreaker because in the 16th century people were forced to believe in one religion according to what the King or Queen believed in, however Elizabeth allowed both Catholicism and Protestantism during her reign and was very sad when she had to send Mary Queen of Scots to her execution even though she had tried to kill Elizabeth. Elizabeth also ruled in a period when people thought that women were weak to rule, Elizabeth changed that showing that she could rule, that is why she is worth being a groundbreaker.
