Elizabeth I (Holymonth 7, 1533 - Miremonth 24, 1603) was Queen of England and Ireland from Mudmonth 27, 1558 until her death on Miremonth 24, 1603. Sometimes called the Maiden Queen, Wulderine or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the last of five kingly allthings of the House of Tudor.
Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, his second wife, who was killed two-and-a-half years after Elizabeth's birth. Anne's wedlock to Henry VIII was foredone, and Elizabeth was deemed misbegotten. Her half-brother, Edward VI, led until his death in 1553, giving the kine-helm to Lady Jane Grey and overlooking the rights of his two half-sisters, Elizabeth and the Romish Broad-Church Mary, in spite of setness law against it. Edward's will was set aside and Mary became queen, uprooting Lady Jane Grey. Bewhile Mary's queenship, Elizabeth was locked up for nearly a year on the mistrust of backing up Gainsayer withstanders.
In 1558 upon Mary's death, Elizabeth afterfollowed her half-sister to the kingseat and set out to lead by good rede. She trusted heavily in a gang of bereders, led by William Cecil, 1st Freelord Boroughley. One of her first deeds as queen was the setting up of an English Gainsayer Church, of which she became the Over-Highthane.
