Queen Elizabeth Overview
Excerpt:
I have to deal, under strict limitations of space, with a long life, almost the whole of its adult period passed in the exercise of sovereignty, a life, which is in effect the history of England during forty-five years, abounding at the same time in personal interest, and the subject, both in its public and private aspects, of fierce and probably interminable controversies. Evidently, a bird's eye view is all that can be attempted; and the most important episodes alone that can be selected for consideration.
The daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn was born on September 6, 1533. Anne was the niece of Thomas, third Duke of Norfolk, and all the great Howard kinsmen attended at the baptism four days afterwards. Elizabeth was two years and eight months old when her mother was beheaded, and she herself was declared illegitimate by Act of Parliament. It is not recorded that in after years she expressed any opinion about her mother or even mentioned her name. She never took any steps to get the Act of Attainder repealed; but perhaps she indirectly showed her belief in Anne's innocence by raising the son of Norris, her alleged paramour, to the peerage, and by the great favor she always showed to his family.
