About this piece
Elizabeth I (1533 – 1603) reigned as Queen of England for 44 years, from 1558 until 1603. The daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth ascended to the throne at the age of 25. Although young, she famously declared “I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.”
She became an inspirational figure, known as 'Gloriana' or 'The Virgin Queen' who had devoted her life to protecting England.
Elizabeth's reign is considered as a Golden Age of English history. She brought peace and prosperity to the country, and oversaw an artistic renaissance embodied by the works of Shakespeare.
It was also a period of English exploration and expansion, as Sir Walter Raleigh began to colonise America. And in 1588 Elizabeth's navy, led by Sir Francis Drake, famously defeated the Spanish Armada.
