Queen Elizabeth

5R, 1896 by The Right Rev. Mandell Creighton, D.D. Lord Bishop of Peterborough

Description

Queen Elizabeth I was born on September 7, 1533, at Greenwich Palace to King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. As the daughter of a controversial marriage, her early life was marked by political uncertainty, especially after her mother's execution in 1536. Despite this rocky beginning, Elizabeth rose to power and became one of England’s most iconic monarchs. Her reign from 1558 to 1603, known as the Elizabethan Era, was celebrated for cultural flourishing, naval triumphs like the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and the strengthening of the Protestant Church of England
