Elizabeth ruled for nearly 45 years, so 4,000 people could easily have been slaughtered within this time span. (About 100 per year? Hardly impossible!)

@Darthbelal Hey, sorry typo, 400 an estimated four hundred, you should read the "elizabeth's irish wars" or the Desmond rebellions. I know her younger brother edward also had a kill count of an estimated 300, like around 280 something, The oldest sister, mary. was like 276 or 7. Anyway, thats what i can come up with at the top of my head. Though, these are burnings, cuz she also set irish crops and w/e to burn to cause them to starve and submit. Harsh times indeed.

@xxkarinaaxx you sure about Elizabeth executing 4 THOUSAND people? That's an average of about 6 people a month set on fire. That would seem a bit excessive to about anyone with the possible exceptions of Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Nero.

Yes, they had harsh laws back then, and they didn't bathe much. We DO put a glossy sheen on these types.

Elizabeth DID strengthen England though, maybe that's what she's remembered for. Or something, dammit.

@Darthbelal All monarchs burned/slaughtered/hanged people thats why we got rid of them and that they lived well off from the peoples poverty and misery. Youre taught in school which were supposed heroes and whatnot, even her younger sister, elizabeth, burned an estimated 4000. Its surreal how awful these people were when you read their history. And not the glorified romanticized we see on tv. But its pretty to look at.

@LeN0Re18 I don't, she had a nasty habit of setting those who disagreed with her on fire. EVERYBODY in England at the time was afraid of her....

The sad part is that both girls grew up feeling unloved and unwanted. He wanted a son so bad that he neglected and mistreated Mary. His bastardization of her, his turn away the church, and her mother made her the terrible queen she was. People have to understand what kind of heritage Mary comes from. Her Grandmother and Grandfather were King Fernandid and Queen Isabella of Spain, true Catholic crusaders. She came from a historic line of royal blood yet she was treated second class.
