Back to Elizabeth Anietie John Odohoedi: Five facts



“Elizabeth had hundreds of extravagantly dresses Like this one”. (Schlesinger, JR 47)

6. Elizabeth 1, was the Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. And she was sometimes called the Virgin Queen, Gloriana or good Queen Bess.(htt://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth-1-England) Explanation: Since, England was a Monarchy country. The people needed someone to lead them, and in this case a King and a queen are needed. And, since Elizabeth comes from a royal family, she was chosen as a queen of England. However, she was sometimes called Virgin because she never married. Although she tries to be in a relationships but, it never works out well for her.

7. Queen Elizabeth was a protestant against the Catholic Church. (htt://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth-1-England)

Explanation: The reason why she was a protestant against the Catholic is because the Catholic was against the practice of divorce. So, she decided to support the protestant church by supplying them what they needed.

8. Queen Elizabeth 1 also has the great seal when she was crowned, she had received a few diplomats in England and abroad that believed that believed that Elizabeth would actually govern her realm.

Explanation: I think this information is important because, it shows how she has her father trait; King Henry the V111. And within a month of her Coronation she proved this fact according to the Spanish ambassador, the queen was feared and obey by the people, and has a strong-willed like her father.

9. Sir Francis Drake (1540-1596), was the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe, is knighted by the queen. Although Elizabeth never publicly admitted to financing Drake’s expeditions, she made no secret of her delight with the man who “singled the king of Spain’s beard” with his attacks on Philip’s navy. (SCHLESINGER 79).

Explanation: I think this was important because, it shows how the first Englishman circumnavigates around the globe. And I think that this is very important to literature too especially the British people. It also shows Elizabeth support of financing Drake, it shows that she was a generous, caring queen who did like to let her left hands to know what she does for people.

10. Clothing was important too. And Queen Elizabeth had hundreds of extravagantly decorated dresses, and she wears finery only when she appeared in public. While, in private she preferred simple garments, and sometimes wore the same plain and simple dress for five days in succession.

Explanation: Clothing was very important during the time of King Henry, people dress in colors. The dress also shows how rich the person was in those days. So, dresses were very important because it shows the public that the Queen was wealthy and knows how to dress.
