Queen Elizabeth I: Henry VIII And Anne Boleyn

On September 7th, 1533 daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn was born, who was to be named Queen Elizabeth 1. At the tender age of three-years-old Elizabeth sadly lost her mother due to her being executed on false charges of incest, adultery, witchcraft, and conspiracy against the king. Though Elizabeth was only three, she did morn the loose of her mother, taking a toll on her early childhood. Thankfully, Elizabeth did have her sister, Mary (aka Bloody Mary). The both of them learned to accept their father, and as time went on the two grew really close. Once her mother had died, both Mary and Elizabeth were called illegitimate to being princess. Just like any royal child, Elizabeth did excel in foreign languages and music, getting a private

education as well. As time went on, Elizabeth father, Henry VIII married for the second time to Catherine Parr. Sadly, her father did die in 1547, causing Elizabeth to live with her step-mother Catherine. Once her father died, Catherine did marry to Thomas Seymour, which led to tensions causing Elizabeth to move back to the royal estate in Hatfield. Though Seymour was Elizabeth's step-father, she did keep a close relationship with him which gained controversy since there were rumors of Seymour trying to wed Elizabeth just to gain power. He was later executed after being set to trail. Before Elizabeth's fathers death, he did marry Jane Seymour who gave birth to Edward. Once Thomas Seymour was killed, there were three people in line for the thrown after Edward died in 1553. The line for the thrown included Elizabeth, her half-sister Mary, and their cousin Lady Jane Grey. Edward did call for Lady Jane Grey to take the thrown but her rule was short before Mary took the thrown after only nine days. While Mary had the throne she quickly retied with the pope of England after her father cut ties with him when he was ruling. In 1554 Thomas Wyatt organized a rebellion against Mary which would allow Elizabeth to be queen. But Wyatt's plan was quickly uncovered, causing Elizabeth to be imprisoned by Mary even though she claimed she had nothing to do with Wyatt's plan. Thomas Wyatt was later executed and Elizabeth was later released from prison.
