Elizabeth I

Okay, Now Today is Elizabeth I! Elizabeth was born on September 11 1533, to Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII (8th). Henry was enraged that Anne had not borne him a son so when Elizabeth was only two and three quarters, Henry, in a desperate attempt to get rid of her, executed Anne. He then Married Jane Seymour, who gave birth to a sickly baby boy Edward who died at 15, but I'll talk more about that later.
Mary I who was 2nd in line for the throne in case Edward died before he was crowned, Leaving Elizabeth, last. Elizabeth Thought she would never ascend the throne of England! But maybe later, death, would prove her wrong. As a child, Elizabeth would often be exiled to Hatfield house. Mary to, would be exiled. Edward was never exiled, as the only male child, and heir to the the throne. Elizabeth had a favorite governess, Catherine or "Kat" Ashley. Kat was fun and loved Elizabeth very much and was her governess until her death in 1564. Elizabeth was related to some other queens who shared the same untimely fate.
Elizabeth died peacefully but they were executed. Henry VIII was ill and died in the short hours of the morning on January 28 1547. Edward, Elizabeth and, Mary all had a private time to pay their respects and condolences, to their father. None of the children attended the funeral. Edward for tradition, Mary and Elizabeth were just not allowed to go. Edward then took over Tudor House (where they lived,) and the Kingdom of England.Nine year old Edward was crowned king on February 20, 1547, but sadly, died of tuberculosis at the age of 15. But, Edward's will left Nothing to do with Mary as heir. Lady Jane Grey was the heir to the throne. But was accused of high treason nine days later and executed in 1554. So Mary was Queen. Mary was bent on making England catholic and burnt protestants at the stake. That's where she got the nickname Bloody Mary. Elizabeth's life was never in any more jeopardy than it was during Mary's reign. You see, Elizabeth was protestant. She pretended to be catholic to save her life.
But that didn't stop Mary from imprisoning Elizabeth in the Tower of London! But death clasped it's hands on Mary and left Elizabeth proved wrong, and Queen.
England was happy with their pretty, young and lively new queen. Elizabeth ruled for 44 wondrous years in England, but died peacefully in 1603
