Welcome to Queen Elizabeth I
Web Site.!
Hello and again welcome to the Queen Elizabeth I web site. As you can see I have changed this site a little, I have gave it a new look, also, I have added new information as well, by updated some of the existing pages and adding new pages. And YES, I did use a spell checker for all the pages, well there may still be some misspelled words on this site, if you see any let me know. I didn’t realize my spelling had gotten that bad, I guess that’s what old age will get you. Thank you for pointing the bad spelling out to me.
Thank you all for being so patient while I was changing the look of this website. I hope you like all the changes, let me know what you think of the new look and the contents of Elizabeth I's web site. E-mail and Guestbook links are at the bottom of each page.

Elizabeth I Gloriana
Elizabeth Tudor is considered by many to be the greatest monarch in English history. When she became queen in 1558, she was twenty-five years old, a survivor of scandal and danger, and considered illegitimate by most Europeans. She inherited a bankrupt nation, torn by religious discord, a weakened pawn between the great powers of France and Spain. She was only the third queen to rule England in her own right; the other two examples, her cousin Lady Jane Grey and half-sister Mary I, were disastrous. Even her supporters believed her position dangerous and uncertain. Her only hope, they counseled, was to marry quickly and lean upon her husband for support. But Elizabeth had other ideas.
She ruled alone for nearly half a century, lending her name to a glorious epoch in world history. She dazzled even her greatest enemies. Her sense of duty was admirable, though it came at great personal cost. She was committed above all else to preserving English peace and stability; her genuine love for her subjects was legendary. Only a few years after her death in 1603, they openly lamented her passing. In her greatest speech to Parliament, she told them, 'I count the glory of my crown that I have reigned with your love.' Five centuries later, the worldwide love affair with Elizabeth Tudor continues.
Read all about Elizabeth's life, her journey to the throne and beyond, on Elizabeth I's web site.
Elizabeth I's web site will cover her childhood, her near death experiences, how she became Queen, and how she persevere' in her struggles as Queen, being she was a Protestant woman and Queen, in a male dominated, and a still mostly Catholic England.
She lead a very interesting and sometimes dangerous life, and was one of England's greatest Monarchs.
I think you will find her, and her life's story very interesting.

Robert and Elizabeth
were about the same age and were childhood friends. After Elizabeth became queen, Robert became her "Favorite", and the two would of probably have married if, it were not for the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Robert's first wife, Amy Robshart. This would of cause a scandal, which Elizabeth could ill afford at the time, being she was a queen with so many enemies.
They did however remained close friends and some say lovers, and when Robert died in 1588, Elizabeth locked herself in her apartment not seeing nor speaking to anyone for four days, at the time it was thought Elizabeth herself had died.
Robert Dudley;
Queen Elizabeth I's Favorite
Robert Dudley was sometimes called the "Gypsy" because of his dark features, striking good looks and his charm.
