Elizabeth I: The Queen Who Defied Fate

“Elizabeth I was never meant to rule.” Declared illegitimate, imprisoned in the Tower of London,

and surrounded by enemies, she should have failed. Instead,

she ruled England for 44 years. She survived assassination plots, executed her greatest

rival, and defeated the Spanish Armada — the most powerful fleet in the world.

Elizabeth never married, choosing power over security. And by the time

she died, England had become a global force. This is why Elizabeth I became one of

history’s greatest queens.
