Who was queen Elizabeth I
By
Sam Wright
She was the daughter of king Henry VIII. She was also friends with Shakespeare. Normally the price is to become ruler of England, but Elizabeth was born first. Plus the prince didn’t live long. What got in Elizabeth’s way was Mary I. When Mary was gone that’s when Elizabeth came in. The queen didn’t have any children. So they brought Irish royalty to England to take her place. Which reminds me that she was ruler of Ireland too. She and the English army defeated the Spanish Armada. She ruled for 45 years. Also she didn’t get married.

Summary: Tells the story of Queen Elizabeth and her life of royalty. (How she became princess, when she married, how she became queen). She lived through three epidemic plagues!
