Question

Answer 1

Well, the other posters has summed up her life but not what this queen's role was during the middle ages.

The answer is none.   She didn't  live in that time period   She lived at the end of the Renaissance Period which was roughly from 1400 - 1600.

Answer 2

She was the Queen.

Answer 3

Queen Elizabeth wasn't alive in the middle ages.  Elizabeth I lived in the Renaissance period.

Her role was queen.

If you want something more specific, ask.  We're not going to cut and paste an entire history book on Queen Elizabeth.

Answer 4

since she was born about 150 years AFTER the end of the middle ages, ummmm not much.

Elizabeth I was firmly, squarely in the middle of the Renaissance.

Answer 5

Queen Elizabeth the First was a consummate diplomat who flirted with Spanish suitors amongst others keeping Spain at bay until eventually King Philip of Spain realised she had no intention of marrying so he sent the Armada.

Queen Elizabeth called up an army and aside from the well documented naval activities led them to do battle should the invaders land. Fortunately this was not required. What marred her character was her refusal to pay the conscripts who rallied to the call leaving many to starve and face ruination.

However as an absolute monarch she set England on the road to prosperity via a little p****y here and there. She established in English hearts the ideal of Naval warfare though it was later that this properly came about. She had those nearest her killed, Raleigh and Mary Queen of Scots.

She never married and in spite of modern scholars making up history instead of researching and proving it. There is no evidence that she committed to any one man sufficiently to bed him. She was too jealous of her power to want to share it.

In spite of her flaws she was a physically brave woman of great leadership qualities and more than a match for any man in her lifetime.

Answer 6

well, yeah, she was queen, by herself which was really unusual.  she was an amazing ruler who was able to bring England back to stability and prosperity after the crazy reigns of her father Henry 8 and sister "Bloody" Mary.  She made Protestantism (Anglicanism) the official state religion.  made peace with some other european countries, initiated sea exploration, killed her enemy Mary, Queen of Scots.  She was known as the Virgin Queen because she never married.  So she was a total feminist i guess, and had a really elaborate fashion sense ;)

Answer 7

During the Elizabethan Era, England was a "constitutional monarchy" much like today, however, monarchs back then were more politically involved than modern time monarchs. Elizabeth I could openly discuss political issues with her privy council members. However, she cannot change or pass laws, nor was she "above the law." This sort of power could only be practiced by the English Parliament, therefore, the monarch and the Parliament were two separate entities.

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.

During her time, the "rights" of a monarch came directly from "God." A divine king is a monarch who is held in a special religious significance by his subjects, and serves as both head of state and a deity or head religious figure. Therefore, Elizabeth also held the title of "The Supreme Governess of the Church of England."　

As the leader of the Church of England, Elizabeth had Royal Supremacy, which was granted by the first "Act of Supremacy" established by King Henry VIII of England and restored by Elizabeth I. It is still the legal authority of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. Royal Supremacy is specifically used to describe the legal sovereignty of the civil laws over the laws of the Church in England.

Answer 8

One of the most powerful and ruthless woman in her time who was greatly against her rival Mary Queen of Scots.
