Queen+Elizabeth+1.

Early seventieth century - Queen Elizabeth __ Queen Elizabeth 1: __ Queen Elizabeth was born 7. September 1533. She was the daughter of King Henry 8. and Anne Boleyn. She was born a princess, but she was declared illegitimate. This was because her father had let her mother execute when Queen Elizabeth was only two and a half years old.  She was met by many conflicts before she could become queen. A lot of it was caused her religion as protestant. Her religion pleased neither Catholics nor Protestants. How ever on 17 November 1558 she did come to the throne, and she ruled until her death on 24 March 1603.



  She was a very popular queen because of her inspiring affection towards other people. She knew how to talk to her people and how to inspire them. The Queen encouraged overseas trade and exploration, and these measures increased the prestige of England, and therefore her popularity.   One thing the population did not like was, that she did not get married, and therefore did not have any children. Elizabeth did how ever convince that she was “married to her kingdom”, and was therefore devoted to the interests of the people of England above all.  Sadly the economic situation did get worse, and so did the employment. This debilitated her popularity in the last years of her reign.
