Official Bio[]
Elizabeth was the daughter of the King Henry VIII by his second wife, Anne Boleyn. As male heirs were desired at the time, Elizabeth was an unlikely successor to the throne. Nevertheless, she received extensive tutouring and was regarded by her teachers as highly intelligent – as an example, she is known to have spoken at least four languages in addition to English. Following the short reigns of her siblings, Edward VI and Mary, Elizabeth became Queen of England in 1558, beginning what became known as the Elizabethan Age.
As a woman in a male-dominated world, Elizabeth did her best to maintain tight control over the country. She was a shrewd ruler, adept at manipulating individuals to further her own and her monarchy’s ends. She reinstated Protestantism in England following her sister Mary’s brief return to Catholicism. Disputes with Spain, aggravated by religious differences, led ultimately to a showdown with the infamous Spanish Armada in 1588. The Spanish were soundly defeated, and England secured its place as master of the sea.
