  1. Mrs Windsor


  2. Shes the one before qe the second numerically that is

  3. Daughter of King Henry VIII.

    She became queen because none of the princes survived to have heirs.

  4. Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called The Virgin Queen, Gloriana, The Faerie Queene or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess, but her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed three years after her birth, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. Perhaps for that reason, her brother, Edward VI, cut her out of the succession. His will, however, was set aside, as it contravened the Third Succession Act of 1543, in which Elizabeth was named as successor if Mary should die without issue. In 1558 Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister, Mary I, during whose reign she had been imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels.

  5. Dead woman.

    The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess, but her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed three years after her birth, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. The Third Succession Act of 1543, in which Elizabeth was named as successor if Mary should die without issue. In 1558 Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister, Mary I, during whose reign she had been imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels.

    Elizabeth set out to rule by good counsel, and she depended heavily on a group of trusted advisers led by William Cecil, Baron Burghley. One of her first moves was to support the establishment of an English Protestant church, of which she became the Supreme Governor. This Elizabethan Religious Settlement held firm throughout her reign and later evolved into today's Church of England.

    It was expected that Elizabeth would marry, but despite several petitions from parliament, she never did. The reasons for this choice are unknown, and they have been much debated. As she grew older, Elizabeth became famous for her virginity, and a cult grew up around her which was celebrated in the portraits, pageants and literature of the day.

  7. How would like to have everybody pays you taxes for ever along with all your future generations and nobody is complaining ,you have prestige, power and own billions and don't even have to lift a finger.She is useless but the concept is brilliant to be on welfare and super rich just because some clever family members came in power and declared themselves Kings and Queens and therefore never have to surrender the power.It is an the rule and it is absurd and should be abolished.It is also very scandalous type of family setting look at Charles the prince.

  8. She was the second daughter and thrid sucessor of King Henry VIII and I.

    She suceeded her father, brother and sister as ruler of England (including Wales) and Ireland,both as Elizabeth I.

    Her fame rests on her being a very strong leader and an able politician and military strategist.   She also ruled for a long period of time.   Long reigning kings and queens are commonly better known and netter regarded in suceeding years.

  9. Go to Google or Yahoo and search "Elizabeth I".  You will find so many links that it would not be possible to mention them here.  There will be lots  info about her life, reluctance to marry, her parents, reign, etc.  I think you'll enjoy learning about Elizabeth I.  

    And, you might enjoy watching Elizabeth I: The Virgin Queen

    "The offspring of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth I used her education, intelligence and knack for diplomacy to guide England to glory. This riveting Masterpiece Theatre drama starring Anne-Marie Duff as the legendary sovereign chronicles how the shrewd Virgin Queen assumed the throne of a nation in turmoil, stabilized the economy, earned her subjects' devotion and manipulated a succession of suitors to political advantage."

    best of luck to you

  10. She was a inbreed little girl , and the whole things about Kings and Queens suck in my thought . Matter of fact they are all inbreed,

    The Queen in Brit, IS EVIL and no one should be allowed to do what she has done, England has so many poor people and teens killing them selves But The Royal hinny is fat happy and very rich ,they dont have to work The people work for them ,

    why not give her wealth to helping England's poor,,  

    One dress would cost about 50.000 thousand dollars , do you think when she has one made she thinks of the poor?
