Talk with Elizabeth I
1533–1603
Queen of England and Ireland
The daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth survived a precarious youth, including imprisonment in the Tower of London, to become queen in 1558. She never married, restored Protestantism as England's established religion, and saw the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. Her reign gave its name to the Elizabethan age, the era of Shakespeare and Marlowe.
