I became Queen of England on November 17, 1558, after the unfortunate death of my half-sister Mary. I ascended the throne a protestant queen, breaking the chain of a very long line of catholic rulers. Much of the court tried to have me removed, and when failed, tried to assassinate me. They were executed. Over the next 40 years, I took England out of its depression and reestablished it as a world power, contesting the French and even the Spanish in the Caribbean. My final feat was the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
