13、ed Anne Boleyn in secret and had his marriage to Catherine annulled by the Church of Englands religious leader,the archbishop of Canterbury.This happened while England was already divided between Catholicism and Protestantism.One day,as queen,Elizabeth would face great challenges due to her fathers

14、actions.In the 1500s,many people in Europe were questioning the practices of the Roman Catholic Church.This period became known as the Reformation,which led to a new form of Christianity and the establishment of Protestant churches.Under Henry VIII,the Church of England followed Catholic practices b

19、,Greek,and Latin.An excellent student,Elizabeths tutors regarded her highly.In her free time,she enjoyed riding horses,dancing,and playing the lute.She rarely saw her father,but sometimes lived in the company of her sister and brother.Henry married three more times,but none of these marriages produc

20、ed another child.His sixth and final marriage in 1543 was to Catherine Parr,who encouraged Henry to establish a clear line of succession.Henry reinstated Mary and Elizabeth as the second and third heirs to his throne after their brother,Edward.Henry VIII died in 1547,and Prince Edward became king at

21、 nine years of age.During his reign,the Church of England adopted more Protestant ways.Just six years after he was crowned,Edward died and Mary became queen.Mary,whose mother had been Catholic,believed strongly in the Catholic faith and wanted to end all Protestant practices.She thought people who d

22、id not follow Catholic teachings were 8heretics and ordered the deaths of hundreds,earning her the nickname“Bloody Mary.”Although Elizabeth valued her Protestant religion,she attended mass and studied the Catholic faith.She believed this would help save her life and keep her in Marys good favor.Mary

23、 suspected Elizabeth secretly practiced the Protestant faith and conspired against her.When people rebelled and tried to dethrone her,Mary thought that Elizabeth was behind it.Mary had her arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London.Elizabeth professed her innocence,but Mary ordered her kept in t

27、al of personal charm.She brought music and art back into the court,in stark contrast to the brutal and violent years of Marys rule.Those around Elizabeth respected her intelligence and wit.From the beginning of Elizabeths reign,her marriage prospects were a matter of great interest to the people in

28、her court and the general public.A good match would mean England could create new alliances with other countries and would ideally provide an heir.However,Elizabeth knew that marriage might threaten her power as queen.She also knew that if she married a foreign king,England could fall under another

30、as Huguenots(HYOO-guh-nots),began to think they could overpower the Catholic rulers who had become their constant enemies.In 1561,Elizabeth sent an ambassador to France to persuade the French monarchy to transition the country over to the Protestant faith.In 1562,war broke out between the Catholics

31、and Huguenots.Elizabeth sent six thousand English soldiers to France to help in the fighting,but the Catholics proved a stronger force.Elizabeth evacuated the remaining English troops and acknowledged defeat.Protestants across Europe were demoralized.Mary,Queen of ScotsDuring the unrest in France,El

34、beth and Marys relationship was always strained.Eventually,Mary was forced to abdicate the throne in favor of her son.She fled Scotlands political unrest for England,where Elizabeth had Mary imprisoned for nineteen years.In 1586,Elizabeth learned of yet another plot to assassinate her.Elizabeth real

36、 planning to invade England before Marys death,but after she was executed,he was ready to attack.12Up to this point,explorer Sir Francis Drake,with the support of Elizabeth,had been angering Philip with his plundering of Spanish ships as they returned from newly discovered territories in the America

37、s.Drake would order his seamen to raid the Spanish ships and take large amounts of gold and silver they were carrying back to Spain.In 1587,Drake sailed into Cadiz Harbor,Spain,and destroyed many of the Spanish ships at anchor.Drakes strike was preemptive;it was designed to loot Spanish ships and we

38、aken Spanish morale.Philip became convinced that he should do everything in his power to overthrow Elizabeth.England readied itself for war,and the Spanish Armada set sail.Philips plan was to sail to the Netherlandsnow under Spanish controlto join a force of about seventeen thousand Spanish soldiers

39、 who were waiting to invade England.However,the English were excellent seamen and had better,faster ships and powerful weapons.The weather was horrible and the seas were rough.The Spanish Armada sustained heavy damages in the battle and was forced to retreat northward to sail the extremely difficult

44、couraging global trade in commodities such as silk,food,and spices.As a result,while there were people living in poverty,there was also a growing merchant class that was becoming prosperous.Also during Elizabeths reign,due to improvements in printing presses and partly to Elizabeths love of literatu

45、re and her encouragement of such endeavors,there was a tremendous growth in education.This led to a substantial increase in the number of people who Elizabeth I late in her reign15Artwork shows Elizabeth at a Christmas play in 1590.Queen Elizabeth I Level Z2could read among middle and lower classes.

46、There was a growing sense of national pride.A majority of Elizabeths subjects loved and respected her.Elizabeth was well educated and believed strongly in supporting the arts.During her reign,she continued to support growth in the areas of music,art,and literature.Painters,poets,writers,and artists

47、were always welcome in her court.By 1590,the arts in England were flourishing.William Shakespeare,arguably the greatest playwright of all time,became immensely popular during Elizabeths reign and often brought his plays and troupe of actors to her court.Some of his plays reflected the events occurri

48、ng in England at the time,and some were comedies that Elizabeth particularly enjoyed.She also loved Shakespeares sonnets and became his enthusiastic royal patron as well as a great admirer of his work.16The End of an EraIn the last years of Elizabeths reign,England led the world in global exploratio

49、ns,its empire was expanding,and the arts continued to flourish.In the winter of 1603,Elizabeths health began to suffer.Although she tried to maintain her powerful appearance,it was clear to members of her court that she was deteriorating.The sweets she usually enjoyed went untouched,and she began to

50、 have trouble swallowing.It was thought she may have been suffering from tonsillitis and had developed ulcers in her throat.On March 21,1603,Elizabeth lost her ability to speak.Three days later,on March 24,she died quietly in her sleep.She was sixty-nine years old and had ruled for forty-four years.
