    Queen Elizabeth I inherited the kingdom of England in 1558 after her half-sister, Mary Tudor, passed away. Elizabeth began ruling England when Mary’s body had scarcely been cold. She was only 25 years old, but she knew that she was responsible for her people. It was said that she wanted to return England to Protestantism, but she kept everyone guessing about what she wanted to do because she could use Parliament to achieve this without sparking a religious civil war. Elizabeth kept all of her intentions well hidden. She refused to decide if she would marry. The Council quietly began to disarm bishops and a few Protestant preachers were arrested. She did this to encourage Protestants. Although Queen Elizabeth I tried to hide her intentions occasionally, she was an altruistic leader because of her understanding of what was going on in her kingdom. She also was a very hard working queen who led her people well and she didn’t let anybody influence her decisions.
