Hey Everyone, I thought of making a Review of my own about Elizabeth the first and the Problems she faced. Well most of us Know Elizabeth The First. ![]() Yup there she is. Her father was Henry VIII. Her father wasn't really a Greedy Man or except to the fact that he wanted Money and made himself the Pope of the Protestant Churches. And Demolished or Destroyed or Shut Down all Monasteries. Thus causing People to suffer by Hunger, Yup the Poor ones. They had no one to help them except the Monasteries and with them Closed, they were left without Food or anything. He wasn't much against the Protestant or the Catholics of the Medieval Times. In the Year 1547 Henry VIII Died, and his Son Edward which is Elizabeth I Brother was Crowned the King of England at the Age of 9 Years old (Believe it or not, I thought that Elizabeth was his Daugther. Don't ask my why) However his Council members were all Protestants so they all went against the Catholics so Hard and tough. Though he Died soon in the Year of 1553 later on his Sister was the Queen, Mary I which was Henry VIII Eldest Daugther, she was a Catholic and Burnt the Protestant and Made them Suffered as well yet she ruled only for 5 Years and then we reach our Topic Main Subject. Elizabeth was Crowned the Queen in 1558 but she Had alot of Problems to solved. Imagine yourself as Elizabeth, Think and try to Solve her Problems. (Remember, your reading this as you are Elizabeth). Should I hurry to appoint a new Archbishop of Canterbury? The Archbishop of the Canterbury had just Died. But if you do Appoint an Archbishop, the Money of the Canterbury won't come you anymore but will go to the new Archbishop. What will you do? Should I marry and try to provide an Heir? By that time, Elizabeth wasn't married nor had a Heir, what would she do? What Should I do about Scotland? By that time, in 1558 Scotland didn't belong to England nor there was the UK so Scotland was an Old Enemy of England although it was ruled by Queen Mary, Elizabeth Cousin. Also French troops were there to help the Catholics. Should I continue to burn the Protestants? Elizabeth half sister and England former Queen Mary was a strict Catholic and she burnt the Protestants and Tourtured them, Should Elizabeth continue doing that? Remember, Turning a Rule out with few Troops isn't an easy thing especially for a Women which isn't married What should I do about Ireland? Elizabeth troops only Controled the Capital Dublin, as for the rest of the Parts of Ireland it was in war with the Civilands, Bishops, and Elizabeth Troops. What should you do about it? What Should I do about the War with France? England was in war with France, They lost one of there Cities this year. also the Young Queen of Scotland, Mary has married the King of France. Elizabeth is in A Deep Suitiation What Should I do about Money? Elizabeth Sister, Mary left Elizabeth in debt of 250,000 Pounds. The war with France was costing alot Later Summary. Later on, 10 Years Later. Queen of Scotland Mary, Elizabeth Cousin was facing problems in her Country so she fled to England. Finding herself in the hands of her Cousin. Confident that Elizabeth would help her. To Be Continued... or More Like.. I Gave you the Problems, try Solving them if you can Hope this was Helpful

I remember this story about a doctor telling Queen Elizabeth that "her health was as crooked as her carcus", though I'm not sure if it was Elizabeth I. |

Yeah sorry that was it, he was beheaded after that, why'd he make such a foolish comment anyway? Edit: It wasn't a doctor, it was 'The Late Earl of Essex" who insulted the queen, and it had nothing to do with her getting married. |

Actually she was a Protestant but then later on made her own Religion which was a Mix of Catholic and Protestants Beliefs. |

Elizabeth was born in days of turmoil; a religious shift were happening in Europe, the Reformation had begun (before Elizabeth's birth) and was continuing. Shakespere often called the Age when Elizabeth ruled the "Golden Age" mainly because it was Britain rise into power; economically, militarily, and even in fashion :lol:. As you've stated, England was in turmoil, wars were revamping everywhere, not to mention the former Great Britain (very small at this time) was crumbling. Not only this, but England was at a Financial crisis, and found themselves right in the middle of a Religious Civil War; which led England to finally have their own Church, instead of them being held under the Catholic Pope. Despite the dubious thoughts by other people, Elizabeth went and held off the French; who were having religious shifts in their own nation. She is also known as the "Mother" of the British Empire. This is because she put the British Navy the Greatest Navy in the World. She hired "pirates" to conquer the seas, and their power finally prevailed when Francis Drake defeated the Spanish Armada. Not only this, but Elizabeth was also known for the founding of settlement in North America. Elizabeth was advised strongly to get married; but she defiantly refused. This is mainly because she was afraid that she would lose her power in England. Normally at this time, the Men held power over the Throne, and women were often treated like property (although by this time, it improved quite a bit). She was afraid that if she married, her husband would uphold all strength, which didn't sound good because during these times most Princesses married men from Foreign countries to strengthen relations. Her later years were perhaps her worst, where England fell into melancholy state.
Although she fought for the Protestants, there is no real evidence that she was a protestant herself. However, it is very evident that she was Anglican, seeing as how she was crowned by the Church of England

Elizabeth was a hemophiliac; she bled easily. This also prevented her from being pregnant 'cause she would've died. |

Well.. I am sure there is cause that's what I am studying about in school. Her father Henry was first a Catholic but when he get divorced to his first wife which was also Catholic (Mary I Mother), then married a Proestant which was Elizabeth Mother. So she is a Protestant.
Lol.. She didn't get Married

My parents are Catholics, but I'm an atheist :P. Just because their parents are Protestants, does not mean she BELIEVED in Protestant beliefs; although during these times, it happens most of the time

I do believe the church that she formed was Anglican, and she set up a Plantation in Munster (south of Ireland, her sister Mary I had set up a failed Plantation in Laois and Offaly) in an effort to subdue the particularly rebellious south. It fell through, I think, because the 'planters' (English settlers) were driven off by the Irish they were supposed to be taking over from. Yeah her mam was Anne Boleyn, Protestant. Various stories abounds (untrue also) that Anne had Mary I's mother Catherine of Aragon poisoned. IIRC Elizabeth executed as many people as her sister did (300+...? I'm not entirely sure), except she did it over her 45 year period of rule. Mary had 5 years of ruling. After some number crunching, the ratios of execution are astounding. Bloody Mary indeed. (sorry, I usually talk about Mary in the same breath as Elizabeth, I rarely separate them) :mellow: I didn't know she was haemophiliac. Thanks for that info :'D |

I like the way she beat Spain by not fighting. Although she loathed war, she actually inflicted so much damage to Spain's economy that it hasn't even replenished since. |

She funded Francis Drake to do her bidding, and basically kick some Armada hull. I think that's right. My Tudor knowledge is pretty hazy at best.

They didn't plan on clashing with the Spanish navy directly though, Drake cut off their supply line and devastated the Spanish ships despite being outnumbered. Elizabeth started by sending spies to keep a close eye on their ports and what they're planning, completely ignoring her advisers. |

I'm pretty sure Francis wanted direct contact with the Spanish Armada; it was the best way to defeat the Spanish navy. I just love the Battle of Gravelines, it basically revolutionized naval warfare. By this time, the Spanish (along with most naval powers) fought strong with broadside attacks, and hand-to-hand marine battles. In simple, they fought like the Romans against Carthage. Francis never really thought up of making such large frigates and battleships, instead, gathered up a bunch of merchant ships, equiped them with as many cannons as possible, losing the manpower of marines, and bombarded da hell out of the Spanish navy.

I was hoping someone would say that. Elizabeth didn't aim to just beat the Spanish in one decisive naval battle, she planned on ruining Phillip's (or whoever was king at that time) economy. |
