Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was queen of England and queen of Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called The Virgin Queen, Gloriana, or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor Dynasty . The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess. One of her first moves as queen was to support the establishment of an English Protestant church, of which she became the Supreme Governor . This Elizabeth religious settlement held firm throughout her reign and later evolved into today's church of England

Elizabeth succeeded to the throne when Mary died at St. Jame's Palace on 17 November.Elizabeth became queen at the age of 25.

The Queen's health remained fair until the autumn of 1602, when a series of deaths among her friends plunged her into a severe depression.She died on 24 March 1603 at Richmond Palace between two and three in the morning.

In February 1603, the death of her cousin and close friend, Catherine Carey Countess of Nottingglam came as a particular blow. In March, Elizabeth fell sick and remained in a "settled and unremovable melanchy.

her biggest accomplishment was that she survived becoming queen.As Princess Elizabeth

she survived a scandal concerning herself and Thomas Seymour, the husband of her stepmother Katharine Parr

she endured at the Tower of London when she was imprisoned there by her half-sister Mary Tudor ( aka Mary I & Bloody Mary). She was accused of being involved with the Protestant rebellion, led by Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger

She achieved an excellent reputation as a good and wise ruler, who was truly loved by her people - she was highly accomplished in the art of rhetoric and Public Relations

Queen Elizabeth I lead England as a woman, in what was very much a man's World, and she did this with courage, intelligence and loyalty to her friends.

Queen Elizabeth Catholic challenges and plots persisted through much of Elizabeth's reign. The focus of most of these was Elizabeth's cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, a Catholic with a strong claim to the English throne, who sought exile in England in 1568. Elizabeth imprisoned her and she remained a prisoner for twenty years until Elizabeth was persuaded to agree to her execution in 1587.

The persecution of continental Protestants forced Elizabeth into war, a situation which she desperately tried to avoid. She sent an army to aid French Huguenots after a 1572 massacre wherein over three thousand Huguenots lost their lives. She sent further assistance to Protestant factions on the continent and in Scotland following the emergence of radical Catholic groups and assisted Belgium in their bid to gain independence from Spain.

Queen Elizabeth's life was trouble from the moment she was born. She went through alot in order for her to become a queen.
