Elizabeth I is one of my favorite monarchs in history. She was beautiful and smart. She ruled alone and she didn't even need a husband. But I bet she had sex when she was in her early 20s. She may have had people killed and punished, but not for their religion, only if they committed a crime. And she defeated the Spanish Armada (the best army in Europe at the time). How cool is Elizabeth? I greatly admire her.

@halcyonseraphim I think a sadder story would be the thousands she slaughtered over her Catholic religion

By the way, I like you because you know how to look at both sides of one situation and you don't get offended if people debate your point of view. That tells me you're really smart. Plus, you like history just like me, you actually like to analyze it, instead of seeing it as a stupid list of data you have to memorize, and that's also hard to find. If you feel particular interest for the Sumerian culture or the Dark Ages, damn, I would like you 10 times more hehe.....

I think you're right. This is what makes history such a hard science, right? The laws of physics or the atoms don't have propagandists working for them for the sake of political interests.....but history deals with humans. Actually, talking about Mary, for example, in the series The Tudors, they actually portray her as a good girl, neglected by her father, putting up with a lot of loneliness and a bitchy, sick Anne Boleyn. It's funny to see that and then watch this movie.

@telamon2011 what the f do you know i bet you flunked history dont think you know it all mr. want to be teacher get out of here huh..

The funny part is that even the evangelical Protestants such as King Edward VI (Elizabeth's half-brother) and Lady Jane Grey (her cousin, who tried to oust both Mary and Elizabeth from the succession) saw Elizabeth as illegitimate and thus not qualified to rule. Remember, Elizabeth was conceived out of wedlock, and since unborn babies were treated as full human beings, this made her just as much of a bastard as a post-utero child born out of wedlock. Evangelicals did regard Mary as legitimate.

@ThePharaoho

Nope. 300 Protestants in five years (an average of 60 per year) versus 4,000 Catholics in a forty five year reign, about 100 per year for Liz.

@itzaramaja

As in Russia, Peter the GREAT and Catherine the GREAT murdered far more Russians than Ivan the TERRIBLE ever could have done, but of course, they had the right propagandists working for them.

That is just about the stupidest response I have ever seen. By the way, learn how to construct a sentence at an eighth grade level before you issue any posts.

First of all, over 4,000 Catholics (3,000 in Ireland, half of them women and children) were slaughtered for what you would call criminal reasons? Monasteries, the only places that fed and clothed the poor after Liz enacted a series of anti-poor laws, were demolished and the monks tortured to death? Jews forbidden to own shops or stores under Liz? Except for the Armada, the English lost every naval battle against Spain during Liz's reign? Propagandists write history, honey.
