About the author

Born on September 7, 1533, at Greenwich, Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Her early life was marked by danger and uncertainty, but she came to the throne in 1558 after the death of her half-sister Mary I.

As queen, she became known for her sharp political judgment and for carefully balancing powerful religious and international pressures. She never married, a choice that helped shape her public image as the "Virgin Queen," and her long reign became associated with stability, overseas expansion, and a flourishing of English theater and literature.

Because this catalog entry treats her as an author heading, works listed under her name are typically royal speeches, letters, proclamations, and other documents issued under her authority rather than books in the modern personal sense.
