Introduction
Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled England and Ireland from 1558 until her death in 1603, was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth's mother, is one of the most influential women in the history of England. She served as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon before becoming King Henry VIII's second wife.
It is believed that Elizabeth inherited many of her mother's best qualities including intelligence and charisma.
The reigns of both Anne Boleyn and Queen Elizabeth I are often considered a golden age for English culture.
Queen Elizabeth I's Early Life
Queen Elizabeth I was born on September 7, 1533. She had a difficult childhood and was not allowed to be with her father for most of her life because she was a girl. Her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed when she was only three years old.
She became Queen at the age of 25 after the death of her half-brother King Edward VI.
The Marriage to King Philip II of Spain
In November 1554, King Philip II of Spain married Queen Mary I of England.
Philip II was the son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Isabella of Portugal. He became King of Spain in 1556 and inherited the Spanish Empire from his father in 1556.
Philip II was a devout Catholic and he wanted to restore Catholicism in England after the Protestant Reformation. However, he did not succeed as Mary I refused to change her religion.
Queen Elizabeth's Reign as Queen Consort and the Birth of Her Children
Queen Elizabeth has been the Queen Consort of King George VI for over 60 years.
She was born on April 21, 1926, in London and is the daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. She married her first cousin Prince Philip on November 20, 1947 at Westminster Abbey.
The Queen's eldest son Prince Charles became heir to the throne when his father became King on February 6, 1952.
Queen Elizabeth's Rule as Queen and the Rise of Puritanism in England
Puritanism was a movement in England during the 16th and 17th centuries that stressed strict observance of Biblical teachings.
The Puritans were a group of Protestants who felt that the Church of England had become too much like the Catholic Church, with its elaborate rituals and hierarchy. They wanted to "purify" the church by reforming it in accordance to biblical teachings.
Puritanism was strongest in areas where people were most dissatisfied with the established church. It was also strongest among people who had been deprived of religious freedom, such as Catholics and those who could not hold public office because they refused to take communion according to Anglican rites.
The Puritans believed that God punished sinners by sending them into exile from their homeland. Because of this, many Puritans made a covenant with God promising to obey his laws if he would make the banishment end.
