Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603)[b] was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death in 1603. She was the last and longest reigning monarch of the House of Tudor. Her eventful reign, and its effect on history and culture, gave name to the Elizabethan era.

Elizabeth was the only surviving child of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn.

During her reign, Elizabeth I established Protestantism in England; defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588; maintained peace inside her previously divided country; and created an environment where the arts flourished. She was sometimes called the "Virgin Queen", as she never married.

The future Queen Elizabeth II was then just the daughter of the Duke of York, who was the second son of the reigning King George V. When the new Elizabeth ascended in 1952 they had to republish this book under a new title, which made Neale really happy because now he could sell more books!

A princess at birth and bastard by the time she could walk. Elizabeth's early years were like riding in a modern roller-costar. An interesting irony of her life was her very existence was the result of her father's desperate attempts at creating a male heir to inherit his throne. And that obsession led to England's first two woman rulers, the second would be the one of the greatest rulers in all of history and arguably history's greatest female ruler.
