Queen Elizabeth I

Queen Elizabeth I Tudor

Queen Elizabeth I of England, Ireland and Wales "Glorianna", "The Virgin Queen"
Born: Sep 7, 1533
Died: Mar 24, 1603
Reigned: Nov 17, 1558 - Mar 24, 1603
Daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Marquess of Pembroke. She had red-gold hair like her paternal grandmother Elizabeth of York, and was reported to have been 5' 10" in height

She was a skilled Musician, was known for swearing and spitting when angry, to calm down she would translate great works. She was an excelliant horse rider and loved dancing and hunting, had the ability to grasp and retain exotic languages, by the time she was 11 years old she could speak 6 languages and is known as an adult to speak 9 languages: English, Welsh, French, Latin, spanish, Classical Greek, Italian, German and Portuges... She could have spoken more I guess but I haven't found any.

She became known as Glorianna and was the greatest ruler in all of English history and turned England into a great Empire and it is quite possible she created the term "Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer." As she kept alot of her enemies in her court as I read somewhere she had said she would rather keep them in plain sight then far away and plotting away.

She never married but had a few loves, one that was her greatest was Robert Dudley.

An interesting note, she was the Godmother of Marie Elisabeth Valois, Princess of France daughter of Charles IX King of France and his wife Elisabeth of Austria.
