=**Elizabeth I of England: Biography.**= Elizabeth was born the 7 September 1533 at     Greenwich        Palace. She  was queen regnant of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called " ** The Virgin Queen **", " **Gloriana **" or " **Good Queen Bess **". Elizabeth was the fifth and last   monarch    of the Tudor dynasty.

CHILDHOOD.
She was the       second child        of __        Henry VIII        of England__, and her mother, Henry's second wife, __        Anne Boleyn        __.She had a half-brother, Edward VI, who ruled as        king        until his death in 1553 and a half-sister, Mary. At birth, Elizabeth was the heiress presumptive  to the   throne of England. Her older half-sister, Mary, had lost her position as    legitimate     heir when Henry annuled his        marriage        to Mary's mother,        Catherine of Aragon       , to marry Anne and sire a male heir to ensure the Tudor     succession.



ELIZABETH AS QUEEN.
Elizabeth  set out   to rule by good     counsel    , and she depended heavily on a group of trusted       advisers       led by William Cecil, Baron Burghley. One of her first moves as queen was the establishment of an English       Protestant church       , of which she became the __Supreme Governor__. This Elizabethan Religious       Settlement        later evolved into today's __        Church of England        .__ Elizabeth's reign is known as the __Elizabethan Era__, famous above for all the flourishing of English drama, led by playwrights such as __       William Shakespeare        __ and Christopher Marlowe.

CHURCH SETTLEMENT
Elizabeth's personal religious convictions have been much debated by scholars. She was a Protestant, but kept Catholic symbols, and downplayed the role of sermons in    defiance     of a key Protestant belief. In terms of       public policy        she favoured     pragmatism     in      dealing        with   religious matters. The question of her legitimacy was a key concern: although she was technically illegitimate under both Protestant and Catholic law, her retroactively declared illegitimacy under the English church was not a serious bar compared to having never been legitimate as the Catholics claimed she was. For this reason alone, it was never in serious doubt that Elizabeth would embrace Protestantism.

MARRIAGE QUESTION
From the start of Elizabeth's reign, it was expected that she would marry  and the   question arose to whom. She never did, although she received many offers for her hand.

DEATH
The Queen's    health     remained fair until the autumn of 1602, when a series of deaths among her friends plunged her into a        severe depression. In March, Elizabeth fell sick and remained in a "settled and unremovable melancholy". She died on 24 March 1603 at       Richmond        Palace. Elizabeth's coffin was carried downriver at night to    Whitehall    , on a barge lit with torches
