E．Paragraph
　　Elizabeth I (1533-1603), Queen of England and Ireland (1558-1603). She was the only child of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. After her mother’s downfall she was temporarily illegitimized, then imprisoned under her half-sister Mary I for suspected implication in Wyatt’s Rebellion. She was well educated in the humanities, and, succeeding to the throne on Mary’s death, she proved an industrious and intelligent monarch. The regime she established with the indispensable aid of William Cecil enjoyed a considerable degree of popular support: the nation achieved stability and prosperity under her rule and enjoyed a ‘golden age’ of achievement in art, music, and literature.
　　She did not please everyone. Her Anglican Church settlement (1559-63) offended Catholics and Puritans alike by its very moderation. Her refusal to marry and ensure the succession irritated certain Members of Parliament, as did her financial demands and her lengthy procrastination over the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. Abroad, meanwhile, her covert aid to the Dutch and French Protestants and her sponsorship of privateering against the Spanish helped to incite Philip II of Spain to open warfare against England. Yet there was no religious warfare under her rule; James I succeeded peacefully when she died; and the navy not only resisted the attempted invasion by the Spanish Amp3ada (1588), but maintained England's advantage in the expensive Anglo-Spanish war which continued until 1604. The problems presented by Puritans, Catholics, and Parliamentary opposition remained to be faced by James I, but by force of character and clever temporizing Elizabeth dominated a remarkably talented array of Englishmen.
