Elizabeth I
b. 9-7-1533; Greenwich
d. 3-24-1603; Richmond Palace
Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry the VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn, was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. Her reign of nearly 45 years, known today as the Elizabethan Age, was marked by the increase of English power and influence worldwide, tremendous religious turmoil within England, and a great outpouring of creative energy in the likes of William Shakespeare.
Elizabeth I is sometimes referred to as The Virgin Queen (the colony of Virginia in North America is named for her), Gloriana, and Good Queen Bess. She was immortalized by Edmund Spenser as the Faerie Queene.
