Her sense of duty was admirable, though it came at great personal cost. She ruled alone for nearly half a century, lending her name to a glorious epoch in world history. Her only hope, they counseled, was to marry quickly and lean upon her husband for support. She was only the third queen to rule England in her own right the other two examples, her cousin Lady Jane Grey and half-sister Mary I, were disastrous.Įven her supporters believed her position dangerous and uncertain. She inherited a bankrupt nation, torn by religious discord, a weakened pawn between the great powers of France and Spain. When she became queen in 1558, she was twenty-five years old, a survivor of scandal and danger, and considered illegitimate by most Europeans. Elizabeth Tudor is considered by many to be the greatest monarch in English history.
