Tudors and the English Reformation

Outstanding overview of Elizabeth - done as a timeline without excessive reading


This is a link to a very good video on Elizabeth (it wont play from the blog). This is only part 1 of 3. Look for parts 2 and 3 on the 'up next' section on the right hand side of the page.


The video below does have some excellent information on Elizabeth. However, it is not always easy to understand. Beware - around half of this also tells the story of Mary Queen of Scots (Mary Stuart) - you might end up confusing what information is about Elizabeth and what information is about Mary Stuart.

    Elizabeth I was born on the seventh of September 1533 in Greenwich. She died at the age of 70 on the 24th March 1603 at Richmond Palace, and was buried on the 28th of April 1603 at Henry VII Chapel. Her parents were Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. She was one of the 4 kids Anne and Henry had together. Her siblings were Mary I , Edward VI and Henry Fitzroy. As a monarch she decided to change things if she thought it was the right decision so she solved the religious tensions by following a 'middle way' which allowed Catholics and Puritans to keep their private beliefs as long as they went to the Church of England in public. However, she hunted, tortured and executed Catholic priests who came into England to undermine her power. She survived plots and rebellions, and executed Mary Queen of Scots (her cousin) in 1587 because she saw her as a threat to her throne. At the time women were seen as weak and inappropriate leaders of a nation. To combat this perception she tried to use her unmarried status as a way of strengthening her political control in England and abroad. Elizabeth encouraged the 'Gloriana' myth, and commissioned portraits which presented her as pure and powerful. Her reign was a time of art, music and literature She defeated the Spanish Armada - a vast fleet of warships from the then world super power. By defeating Spain, England was on the way to being a world power by her death and one which had set up its first colony.
