Question

What event led to Elizabeth I becoming Queen?

Answer 1

The death of Mary I.

Answer 2

Her sister Mary I died in 1558, and Elizabeth succeeded her.

Answer 3

Although Elizabeth was deemed illegitimate by her own father, she ascended the English throne as the last and final child of King Henry VIII. Prior to Elizabeth's reign, it was her elder sister, Queen Mary I of England who ruled England and Ireland for a short period of time. However, Mary never produced an heir and died childless of stomach cancer. Therefore, the crown went to Mary's only half-sister, Elizabeth.
