Why was queen elizabeth 1 important?
Queen Elizabeth 1 was born to Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn on September 7, 1533. It is a well know fact that the marriage of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII was not built on love and trust, in fact Henry VIII after waiting ordered his wife Anne Boleyn to be beheaded after failing to produce him a son. Obviously this was due to no fault of her own, but she paid the ultimate price with her life. Their daughter was Elizabeth I, she would eventually become the Queen of England and would reign from 1587 to 1603 when she died of natural causes. Elizabeth as did her mother led a very interesting and danger filled life, you can learn a great deal about her and her family by visiting www.tudorhistory.org.
