Queen Elizabeth Complete Bio

Elizabeth Tudor was born on September 7, 1533 in Greenwich Palace. She was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Henry challenged the papacy and the emperor to marry Anne, under the impulse of love and the need for legitimate male heir. And the birth of Elizabeth was one of the most exciting events of the political history of the 16 th century in Europe, rarely had so much turmoil occurred on behalf of the child alone. But trust the predictions of astrologers and doctors were wrong, and welcome to the prince was a princess.

Eustace Chapuys, the imperial ambassador and an enemy of Anne Boleyn, describes the birth of his master, as "Portrait of Mother Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn's great disappointment and sadness king, queen herself and his other hand." But over the next two years, Henry VIII is ready to hope for son to join the girl in good health. Immediately after the birth of Elizabeth, he wrote to the daughter of 17 years, Princess Mary, and demanded that she quit her title Princess of Wales and recognize both the annulment of his marriage with his mother, Catherine of Aragon, and the actions of his new marriage. Mary refused and has accused Anna Boleyn (and, consequently, Elizabeth) to amend its misery. In December she was moved into the house of his half-sister of the child. When he was told to pay his respects to Princess baby, she said she did not know, Princess of England, but herself, and burst into tears.

Henry is ignored constant demands to meet and Mary Catherine, now he began a more aggressive campaign to ensure that the position of Anne and Elizabeth. Mother and daughter to be safe, other couples must necessarily suffer. Most Europeans, and even the British, still believed that his wife Kathryn of the king. Now old and ailing, imprisoned in a castle shape after the other, it remains a hugely popular figure. Anne Boleyn was dismissed in polite circles as the king of "concubine" and their marriage has been of the new Protestant faith. Henry tried to legislatively popular acceptance of the new queen and heiress. But a variety of actions and promises are not worth the lives of several prominent Catholics, including Sir Thomas More and Bishop John Fisher. British people have never recognized "Nan Bullen", as their queen.
