Queen Elizabeth I??

Question

How was her reign nfluenced by the renaissance and reformation??? (3 ways please and thank you!!!)

Answer 1

do your own research, please.  There are plenty of websites that can give you that information, and then you just read, digest and write your own paper.

Answer 2

ok, i have one on reformation... its pretty lengthy so hold on....

The reformation began on the continent (mainland Europe) and her mother, Queen Anne Boleyn, was sent to France for a time before she was queen.  There, she learned about the reformation ideas and became Protestant.  When she became queen, it was a huge scandal because Henry 8 had to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, mother of the Princess Mary.  Henry founded his own church, the Church of England (Anglican).  When Princess Mary decended the throne, she tried to reinstate Catholicism, which didn't work (hence the name "Bloody Mary").  When Elizabeth I finally decended, she declared Protestantism the official state religion, because that was the religion of her mother and if it wasnt for protestantism, she wouldn't really have been born.  

phew!!

As far as renaissance, she was a patron of many English artists and musicians, so in that way she continued on the Renaissance era.

Answer 3

Queen Elizabeth I inherited the throne of a country torn between Protestantism and Catholicism, and as a wise leader, she established Protestantism as the country's religion, and introduced a few very important Acts: The Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity (1559), the introduction of the Prayer Book of 1559, and the Thirty-Nine Articles (1563) were all Protestant in doctrine, but preserved many traditionally Catholic ceremonies.

Most importantly, rather than having the ministers preach in Latin, she had them preached in English. In addition, she encouraged younger generations to be more educated, so that the younger children could read the bible to their parents. During the Elizabethan era, the literacy rate was growing rapidly, more people could read and write. More career opportunities opened for everyone, just not to the rich anymore. This was also when the English literature flourished with writers and artists. Plays were written by these new generations who are well educated and well informed, because they were literate.

Basically, Elizabeth I was credited for all of this simply because she understood how important it was for her people to be more educated, in order to help her nation grow strong and powerful. The reign of Queen Elizabeth I also saw significant expansion overseas. Great explorers were encouraged such as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir John Hawkins, Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Richard Greenville

Queen Elizabeth I surrounded herself with highly intelligent and loyal advisors such as Sir William Cecil, Sir Francis Walsingham and Sir Robert Cecil who gave her sound political advice. She was able to choose excellent advisors and statesmen but was not be dominated by them. Elizabeth was firmly in control of all major policies and England prospered under a stable Government
