History of Britain

A series of books which tell the story of Britain from the coming of the Romans to the present day

Elizabeth I

On September 1533, Anne Boleyn, the new wife of Henry VIII, gave birth to a baby girl. Henry was bitterly disappointed, for he believed that girls were not suitable to be rulers.

Henry was utterly wrong. The baby girl grew up to be Elizabeth I, the strongest and cleverest of all the queens of England. During Elizabeth's reign the country became peaceful and united after years of unrest, the Spanish Armada was defeated, trade and industry grew and the court became a centre for playwrights, artists and musicians.
