Elizabeth I         Reigned 1558 - 1603

Gloriana! A brilliant strong Queen. She upheld Protestant England against Catholic Europe. The sailing of the Spanish Armada and Catholic plots, centred around Mary Queen of Scots, were mere hiccups in a wonderful period of achievement in the exploration of foreign countries and in painting, poetry and the theatre.
