"The Bastard Child" | How Did Elizabeth I Become Queen?
Elizabeth I is among the most popular and successful monarchs in British history. She became the longest-reigning Tudor monarch, crowned at the age of 25. And yet throughout her childhood and early adult life, it seemed unlikely that Elizabeth would inherit the throne. When her father Henry VIII executed her mother Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth was only three years old and she was disinherited from the throne. She was arrested for treason, put under house arrest and was the subject of numerous plots against her. How did Elizabeth I rise to power? Want to learn more about Elizabeth I?
