Elizabeth Tudor is thought to be the greatest ruler in English history. She was born on September 7, 1533. She lived to be sixty nine years old and ruled for almost 45 years.
Queen Elizabeth I was born on May 3rd, in the year 1533 to her father, Henry the Eighth, and her mother, Anne Boleyn in Greenwich England. When Elizabeth was only two years old her mother was beheaded so Henry VIII could remarry. Despite Henry’s cruelty and obsession with having a male hair, he still showed affection for his daughter and made sure she was well educated. By her teens Elizabeth
King Henry VIII was born on June 28, 1491 in Greenwich, England. He was the second son of his father, King Henry VII. Henry was not the heir to the throne; instead, his brother Arthur was. However, Arthur died a year after his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, making Prince Henry the heir. It was then decided that Catherine would remain in England, as King Henry was trying to create a new marriage contract with her for Prince Henry. If Catherine returned to Spain, then her dowry would go with her, as would their alliance with Spain [1]. Days before Henry turned 18, his father died. He quickly occupied the throne, and a few weeks after Henry became king, he married Catherine, with special permission from the pope.

Queen Elizabeth’s mother, Anne Boleyn, had a pretty rough time. After “marrying” Queen Elizabeth’s father, Henry VII, she became the queen. Soon after she became pregnant, everyone was preparing for the little prince, Prince Edward, but whenever Anne Boleyn’s due date came she had a little girl, Princess Elizabeth. After many failed attempts at conceiving, the king became angry and started to think of a way to end their marriage. With the help of a few of Anne’s enemies at court, King Henry started an investigation. Anne was eventually arrested on the charges of adultery, incest, and plotting to murder the king. With limited evidence, she was found guilty and sentenced to death by beheading. On May 19th, Anne was privately executed.
Elizabeth I (also known as Elizabeth the Great, or the "Virgin Queen") was born in 1533 into a dangerous world of political intrigue. When she was only two years old, her father, King Henry VIII killed her mother, Ann Boleyn, because she had not yet produced a male heir. Henry's routine killing of her successive stepmothers every few years traumatized Elizabeth, who loved her father. Although Henry finally did father a son, Edward VI, the boy did not live long, dying at the age of sixteen after a six-year reign, and thus Elizabeth's older sister Mary I came to the throne in 1553. Meanwhile, the young Elizabeth showed exceptional intelligence, excelling at her studies well beyond any of the other royal children.

Elizabeth Woodville’s marriage to the king of England created many problems between higher powers and his people, because Elizabeth Woodville was a commoner and from a clan of Lancastrian supporters who were enemies of his people. King Edward was a figure that many people looked up to. However, that didn’t last long after his marriage; many people started to disagree with a lot of his choices and started to tell him that he was put under
Elizabeth’s relationship with her elder male cousin, the Duke of Norfolk, was not good at all. The Duke of Norfolk wanted to kill Elizabeth because he wanted to become the king of England. Becoming the king of England was impossible while Elizabeth was still the queen. When Mary was on her deathbed with cancer the Duke of Norfolk tried to get Mary to sign a paper that would allow him to kill Elizabeth and become King of England. The Duke of Norfolk would speak against Queen Elizabeth and try to turn England against her. At one meeting she had to lock him and his men up so he wouldn’t cause a disturbance. They both had their differences.
Edward VI is Elizabeth’s young and unhealthy half-brother. Edward actually is first crowned as king after their father dies. Since he was still somewhat young, he would’ve been able to be manipulated and influenced by others with royal ambitions. But everything changes when he passes away from illnesses while he was still quite young.
