Today we have Elizabeth I, Queen of England and Ireland from 1558 to 1603Elizabeth I (9/7/1553 - 3/24/1603) was the last and longest reigning of the House of Tudor and his only surviving child. She is often considered among the greatest of the British monarchs. Some notable facts or feats include the following>Born as the last surviving child of Henry VIII, mother Anne Boleyn executed when she was 2. Declared illegitimate but restored when she was 10>Imprisoned for a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels by Mary I >Set to rule by good counsel. Depended heavily on advisors such as William Cecil. >Established the English church with herself as supreme governor. >Never married, no heirs. Last of the Tudors>More moderate than Henry VIII, but very stern and tolerated absolutely no BS. Charismatic>Religiously tolerant, which angered Pope Pius V who declared her illegitimate in 1570>Survived several plots against her thanks to Francis Walsingham>Foreign affairs were cautious and not always effective. The Anglo-Spanish War began in 1585. It would end a year after her death in 1604 with an English victory. Saw the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588>Cult of personality grew around her. English drama and maritime adventures flourished during her reign>Economic and military problems occurred around the end of her reign but it was overall fairly successful and stable during a period of instability in EuropeWhat do you think about the Virgin Queen?Link to previous thread: >>18699574

>>18701313I find it laughable that Henry VIII and Mary were able to get away with calling her a bastard when all portraits of her from all phases of her life show that she was the spitting image of Henry.
>>18701335>I find it laughable that Henry VIII and Mary were able to get away with calling her a bastard when all portraits of her from all phases of her life show that she was the spitting image of Henry.back then the king said "jump" and you said "how high?" if you didn't nod and go along with it you get imprisoned or killed. if they said Elizabeth was a bastard, she was a bastard and that was that.
both Mary and Elizabeth reportedly had deformed pussies and were infertile as a result
>>18701359Elizabeth's resistance to marrying could have in fact been out of embarrassment at physical problems she had.
>>18701359C*tholic slander. Elizabeth just wasn’t a c*tholic whore like Mary Queen of Scots. Mary I was cursed by God however for being a c*tholic.
>>18701362She was desperate to marry by her late 30s, but she was too old and the diplomatic opens to marry were closed by that point. She used marriage as a diplomatic card, not literally because she didn’t want to marry.
>>18701367And to add to my post, she openly said she would’ve married him her favorites if he hadn’t married and if it wasn’t so politically toxic
>>18701370one of her favorites*
>>18701359It was said that Elizabeth had some kind of membrane down there and a French surgeon was hired to snip it out.
>In contrast to her father's reckless spending, Elizabeth seems to have taken more after her tight-fisted grandfather as far as fiscal policy was concerned. The English treasury had a substantial surplus during her reign and England could borrow money from Italian bankers at extremely favorable interest rates at a time when Philip II of Spain couldn't borrow for all the tea in China. One exception was clothing items, something the queen was quite extravagant on; she became indignant when people at her court remarked on this and told them they ought to spare their neck and mind their own business.
One of the great board games
>>18701390Elizabeth was said to be fond of wearing sheer gowns at court balls that showed off her tits. This was popular with the court in the early years, but she still insisted on wearing them at 50+ and then it became much less popular.
and scotland
