All Hail, Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth the first was born September, 7, 1533 in Greenwich England. Her father was King James the eighth and her mother was Queen Anne. When Elizabeth was not even 3 her mother was accused of of a crime that she did not commit by her husband. She was sentenced to death because she promised king henry she would have a boy. King henry also had another wife that had a baby he then divorced her and married Elizabeth's mother. The baby's name was Mary. In 1553 Mary became queen of England. Nobody liked mary they called her ''Bloody Mary'' and thats where the legend of bloody mary comes from. Mary made everyone be Catholic and those who weren't were sentenced to death. Mary hated Elizabeth because her father married Elizabeths mother. Mary sent Elizabeth to a castle far away from london she stayed there for a long time finally Mary let her go. Mary got sick and died in 1558.

Then in 1559 Elizabeth became queen. When Elizabeth was Queen the plague accrued three times one in 1563 one in 1582 and one in 1592. The ring around a rosie song was from the plague because the ring was the spots they would get from the disease, the pocket full of posies was the flower they held so it wouldn't smell like dead bodys and ashes is from when they burned the bodys of people who had the plague.Everyone was counting on Elizabeth to help but she couldn't stop the plague.

In 1562 Elizabeth was diagnosed with white pox a deadly disease but she suffered. When Elizabeth was 69 she was getting very old and she was not able to dance or read nobody new who would be queen or king after she died. In 1603 Elizabeth died and King James was chosen to become king.

Elizabeth accomplished lots of things. She became Queen at a very young age. She was Queen for 41 years. She was the only single Queen. The Queen suffered white pox and ruled when the plague was spreading. Elizabeth lived till she was 69 and that was long for people in the 1500s.
