v On the 7 of September in 1533 Elizabeth I was born. It was very disappointing birth because her father wanted a son to be heir of the throne. When she was born her older sister, Mary I, had to step down as princess and become Lady Mary to serve Elizabeth. When Elizabeth was 4 she had to do the same for her younger brother Edward because he was the male heir that King Henry was waiting for. (Childhood of Queen Elizabeth) (Queen Elizabeth I)  v Daughter of Henry VIII and (Queen Elizabeth) his second wife Anne Boleyn. Her parents were beheaded and she was declared illegitimate and was locked up in a tower by her sister, Mary I, for notions of helping Protestant rebels, where she stayed until Mary died and she became Queen. (Bergin and Speake) (Elizabeth I)  v Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth’s mother was executed for false charges of treason when she was just 3. No one told the news to Elizabeth so no one knew how she felt.

(Renaissance) (Thomas) v At 3 months old Elizabeth was given her own house because it was proper in that era. She was escorted there by her great uncle, Duke of Norfolk; this house was called the Hatfield House. After putting Elizabeth in her crib the Duke left to get her half sister Mary to become one of her “sister ladies in waiting”.
