She was born Elizabeth Tudor, to King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. However, she faced a surprising number of challenges in her lifetime. Her mother was executed when Elizabeth was merely an infant, and her stepsister Mary I of England actually attempted to assassinate her for the throne! (“Queen Elizabeth I Facts Summary Info.” p. 1) Despite all of this, Elizabeth continued steering her country towards a brighter future: she eased the distrust and hostility between Catholics and Protestants, prompted England’s international trading economy to flourish, and created the Anglican Church as we recognize it today. Because of these reasons - and more -, Queen Elizabeth I should be held in high regard as an exemplary ruler who changed England forever.…
