E．Paragraph
　　Elizabeth I (1533-1603), Queen of England and Ireland (1558-1603). She was the only child of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. After her mother’s downfall she was temporarily illegitimized, then imprisoned¹⁴ under her half-sister Mary I for suspected implication in Wyatt’s Rebellion. She was well educated in the humanities, and, succeeding to the throne on Mary’s death, she proved an industrious¹⁵ and intelligent monarch¹⁶. The regime she established with the indispensable aid of William Cecil enjoyed a considerable degree of popular support: the nation achieved stability and prosperity under her rule and enjoyed a ‘golden age’ of achievement in art, music, and literature.
　　She did not please everyone. Her Anglican Church settlement (1559-63) offended Catholics and Puritans alike by its very moderation. Her refusal to marry and ensure the succession irritated certain Members of Parliament, as did her financial demands and her lengthy¹⁷ procrastination¹⁸ over the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. Abroad, meanwhile, her covert¹⁹ aid to the Dutch and French Protestants and her sponsorship of privateering against the Spanish helped to incite²⁰ Philip II of Spain to open warfare²¹ against England. Yet there was no religious warfare under her rule; James I succeeded peacefully when she died; and the navy not only resisted the attempted invasion by the Spanish Armada (1588), but maintained England's advantage in the expensive Anglo-Spanish war which continued until 1604. The problems presented by Puritans, Catholics, and Parliamentary opposition²² remained to be faced by James I, but by force of character and clever temporizing²³ Elizabeth dominated a remarkably²⁴ talented array of Englishmen.
