Elizabeth I
‘A queen with the heart and stomach of a king’
Elizabeth I was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn and she reigned from 1558 until her death in 1603. Elizabeth was loved by her people and her fort-five year reign was in many ways ‘a golden age’ for England. It was the age of Shakespeare and the discovery of the New World.
When the Spanish Armada, the fleet sent by the Catholic King of Spain King Philip II to invade England in 1588, was approaching the English coast, Elizabeth made a passionate speech to encourage her soldiers. She said ‘I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and a king of England too.’ The Spanish invasion was unsuccessful and Elizabeth was confirmed as one of the most popular monarchs Britain has ever had.
But Elizabeth was anything but weak and feeble. In fact, writers of the time recorded many incidents of her being extremely strong and aggressive. One day when she got angry with her secretary she threw a slipper at him and hit him in the face, and on another occasion she hit one of her ministers who had offended her.
Elizabeth must have been very vain. A French visitor to England when she was old said, ’When anyone speaks of her beauty she says she was never beautiful but she speaks of her beauty as often as she can.’ However, it is difficult to know what Elizabeth really looked like, because she did not personally pose for many of her portraits. She banned the showing of any portraits which showed her as ugly. Elizabeth was one of the cleanest women in England at that time. She was proud of the fact that she had a bath once every three months! One of her ministers was amazed to discover that she had four baths a year ‘whether she needed or not’.
Although she had admirers Elizabeth never married or had children. When people suggested that she should marry she answered, ‘I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband, namely the kingdom of England. Do not blame me for the lack of children, for every one of you are children of mine.’
