Elizabeth I (1533–1603) Elizabeth, I ruled England for more than 40 years, a reign so influential that it is known as the Elizabethan Age. Her mother was beheaded when Elizabeth was only two years old, and her stepsister, Mary I, accused Elizabeth of treason and had her imprisoned in 1554. Perhaps as a result of these events, Elizabeth’s great talents were caution and strategic thinking. When the 25-year-old Elizabeth assumed the throne, she quickly moved to unify her country. She made it clear that Protestantism would be the religion of England. Through taxes she replenished the treasury. She never married, though she had many suitors. She cautiously avoided European wars, but when her diplomatic games led the Spanish Armada to invade, her navy famously stopped them in the English Channel.

2) Interpreting Significance Queen Elizabeth’s refusal to marry was a controversial political decision at the time. Why? Why might Elizabeth have chosen to remain single?

- Because there could not be a queen in a monarchy before a country without a king, it was necessary if or if (male chauvinism of the time). Moreover, Elizabeth decided not to marry anyone, because her greatest wish was to be committed to her country, to be loved and respected by its inhabitants/citizens; and to reign on the throne of England until the day she died.
