In 1554, when Henry VIII died in England, the country was torn apart. Catholics opposed Protestants. The eldest daughter of Henry, who believed in Catholicism, became Queen of
. She had no children. Catholics feared that Mary would believe in a Protestant half-sister— - Elizabeth- ascended to the throne.
Elizabeth was accused of conspiring with Sir Thomas White and others to oppose Her Majesty, so she was arrested for treason and sent to the Tower of London. Mary hopes that after Elizabeth ascends to the throne, she will maintain the Catholic faith and not exclude your subjects' support and faith-the Virgin Mary. When Elizabeth faced death, she still insisted on acting according to her conscience and was sent to her place of residence under house arrest.
After Mary's death, Elizabeth was crowned Queen of England, Ireland and France. After he was enthroned, he was faced with an empty treasury, a weak navy, no decent army, and a lack of armaments. No Yasai can withstand the flames of war, internal and external troubles . The minister suggested that unless you are a mother and give birth to an heir, you can ensure safety. The marriage of queen has to be considered from the political aspect. There is no absolute freedom. Under the aura of supreme power, a strong heart is needed to support it.
France sent troops to station on the border of England, and the ministers strongly demanded to send troops to fight, even if Elizabeth did not like war, the situation should not be ignored. The situation of the war, the British defeat, the bishops believed that Elizabeth was incapable of ruling, they insisted on letting Elizabeth abdicate without fear, and received responses everywhere. The children sent to the front line are not regular reinforcements. This is exactly the plan of the bishops and they intend to force Elizabeth to abdicate in the parliament.
Elizabeth wanted to establish a unified religious belief. She said: "I am a woman, but I have never thought of opening the window of a man’s soul. I just want to ask, who can serve two masters at and be loyal to them. ." The bishops thought this was heresy and suggested that the queen should get married immediately. In fact, whether it is married to France, Spain, or married to a domestic earl, will either provoke wars between countries or lose popular support . However, before the parliament, Elizabeth ordered Worthingham (the queen's knight) to privately imprison the voting rights that would oppose her in the parliament, and the queen's resolution narrowly won by five more votes.
French prince Anjou went to England to propose to the Queen. At the reception party, the Queen was assassinated and attempted. The queen has never agreed to any marriage request from any country, because she has Earl Robert in her heart, but at this time she learns that Earl Robert has a wife. When the queen decided to marry the prince Anjo and intended to give her a token of love, she discovered that the prince Angjo was wearing women's clothing, and the marriage came to an end. The Pope of Rome removed Queen Elizabeth from the throne of England and announced that from now on, all those subjects who were enemies of her would be pardoned, and anyone who assassinated her would receive an order of favor. A series of assassination plots followed one after another. Elizabeth realized that her counselor would only suggest to depend on France or Spain, so she decided to follow her own thoughts, even if she was just a woman, she would have a man's heart and fear nothing!
From now on I will follow the letter sent by the Pope of Rome with my heart
, and I will be robbed by the Queen. One of them says that he agrees to the Earl of Norfolk to overthrow the rule of Elizabeth. The king needs to marry the Queen of Scotland. The Queen dealt with Norfolk, the country's biggest threat to its dominance, with treason, and took decisive measures against those who rebelled, and Britain ushered in the peace phase that has been waiting for.
Elizabeth ruled for another 40 years. During her reign, she restored the Anglican Church, separated from the Holy See and became independent; adopted a series of necessary measures to develop the economy. When she died, Britain became the richest country in Europe. Worthingham has always been her most trusted and loyal subordinate. She has never married and never saw Robert in private. It is said that she still called Robert's name when she died. He must be the love of her life.
