Elizabeth is known as the Virgin queen of England, because she ruled most of her years alone and no king on her side. She was also never supposed to become queen. At the time of her birth she was heir to the throne. When Elizabeth was two-years-old, her mother was executed. Her father killed or “put away” all his spouses, because they did not give him the things that he wanted, sons. Elizabeth and and her mother were put on an island and then her mother was killed and after that her father had a son and he died and she had a younger sister, therefore Elizabeth became queen and the Era that she ruled in is now called the Elizabethan Era.
