query: Elizabeth I was the first daughter of Henry VIII.

positive: Mary I of England Mary I ( 18 February 1516 -- 17 November 1558 ) was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death . Her executions of Protestants led to the posthumous sobriquet `` Bloody Mary '' .   She was the only child of Henry VIII by his first wife Catherine of Aragon to survive to adulthood . Her younger half-brother Edward VI ( son of Henry and Jane Seymour ) succeeded their father in 1547 .   When Edward became mortally ill in 1553 , he attempted to remove Mary from the line of succession because of religious differences . On his death their first cousin once removed , Lady Jane Grey , was proclaimed queen . Mary assembled a force in East Anglia and deposed Jane , who was ultimately beheaded . Mary was -- excluding the disputed reigns of Jane and the Empress Matilda -- the first queen regnant of England . In 1554 , Mary married Philip of Spain , becoming queen consort of Habsburg Spain on his accession in 1556 .   Mary is remembered for her restoration of Roman Catholicism after her half-brother 's short-lived Protestant reign . During her five-year reign , she had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian persecutions . After her death in 1558 , her re-establishment of Roman Catholicism was reversed by her younger half-sister and successor Elizabeth I , daughter of Henry and Anne Boleyn .

positive: Elizabeth I of England Elizabeth I ( 7 September 1533 -- 24 March 1603 ) was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death . Sometimes called The Virgin Queen , Gloriana or Good Queen Bess , the childless Elizabeth was the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty .   Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn , his second wife , who was executed two-and-a-half years after Elizabeth 's birth . Anne 's marriage to Henry VIII was annulled , and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate . Her half-brother , Edward VI , ruled until his death in 1553 , bequeathing the crown to Lady Jane Grey and ignoring the claims of his two half-sisters , Elizabeth and the Roman Catholic Mary , in spite of statute law to the contrary . Edward 's will was set aside and Mary became queen , deposing Lady Jane Grey . During Mary 's reign , Elizabeth was imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels .   In 1558 , Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister to the throne and set out to rule by good counsel . She depended heavily on a group of trusted advisers , led by William Cecil , 1st Baron Burghley . One of her first actions as queen was the establishment of an English Protestant church , of which she became the Supreme Governor . This Elizabethan Religious Settlement was to evolve into the Church of England . It was expected that Elizabeth would marry and produce an heir to continue the Tudor line . She never did , despite numerous courtships . As she grew older , Elizabeth became famous for her virginity . A cult grew around her which was celebrated in the portraits , pageants , and literature of the day .   In government , Elizabeth was more moderate than her father and half-siblings had been . One of her mottoes was `` video et taceo '' ( `` I see but say nothing '' ) . In religion , she was relatively tolerant and avoided systematic persecution . After the pope declared her illegitimate in 1570 and released her subjects from obedience to her , several conspiracies threatened her life , all of which were defeated with the help of her ministers ' secret service . Elizabeth was cautious in foreign affairs , manoeuvring between the major powers of France and Spain . She only half-heartedly supported a number of ineffective , poorly resourced military campaigns in the Netherlands , France , and Ireland . By the mid-1580s , England could no longer avoid war with Spain . England 's defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 associated Elizabeth with one of the greatest military victories in English history .   Elizabeth 's reign is known as the Elizabethan era . The period is famous for the flourishing of English drama , led by playwrights such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe , and for the seafaring prowess of English adventurers such as Francis Drake . Some historians depict Elizabeth as a short-tempered , sometimes indecisive ruler , who enjoyed more than her share of luck . Towards the end of her reign , a series of economic and military problems weakened her popularity . Elizabeth is acknowledged as a charismatic performer and a dogged survivor in an era when government was ramshackle and limited , and when monarchs in neighbouring countries faced internal problems that jeopardised their thrones . Such was the case with Elizabeth 's rival , Mary , Queen of Scots , whom she imprisoned in 1568 and had executed in 1587 . After the short reigns of Elizabeth 's half-siblings , her 44 years on the throne provided welcome stability for the kingdom and helped forge a sense of national identity .

negative: Henry VII of England Henry VII ( Harri Tudur 28 January 1457 -- 21 April 1509 ) was King of England from seizing the crown on 22 August 1485 until his death on 21 April 1509 , and the first monarch of the House of Tudor . He ruled the Principality of Wales until 29 November 1489 and was Lord of Ireland .   Henry won the throne when his forces defeated King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field , the culmination of the Wars of the Roses . Henry was the last king of England to win his throne on the field of battle . He cemented his claim by marrying Elizabeth of York , daughter of Edward IV and niece of Richard III . Henry was successful in restoring the power and stability of the English monarchy after the civil war , and after a reign of nearly 24 years , he was peacefully succeeded by his son , Henry VIII .   Henry can also be credited with a number of commendable administrative , economic and diplomatic initiatives , though the latter part of his reign was characterised by financial greed stretching the bounds of legality .   Perhaps most impactful to posterity was his establishment of the Pound Avoirdupois as a weights and measures standard -- with several adjustments this became part of the Imperial System and today 's International pound units .   His supportive stance of the islands ' wool industry and stand off with the Low Countries had long lasting benefits to all the British Isles economy . However , the capriciousness and lack of due process that indebted many would tarnish his legacy and were soon ended upon Henry VII 's death , after a commission revealed widespread abuses . According to the contemporary historian Polydore Vergil , simple `` greed '' underscored the means by which royal control was over-asserted in Henry 's final years .

The film is loosely based on the early years of Elizabeth 's reign . Blanchett and Rush reprised their roles in the sequel , Elizabeth : The Golden Age ( 2007 ) , covering the later part of her reign .   The film brought Australian actress Blanchett to international attention . She won several awards for her portrayal of Elizabeth , notably a BAFTA and a Golden Globe in 1998 .

The film sees a young Elizabeth elevated to the throne on the death of her half-sister Mary I , who had imprisoned her . Elizabeth 's reign over the divided and bankrupt realm is perceived as weak and under threat of invasion by France or Spain . For the future stability and security of the crown she is urged by advisor William Cecil to marry ; she has suitors in the Catholic Philip II of Spain and the French Henri , Duc d'Anjou . However , she instead embarks on an affair with the wholly unsuitable Robert Dudley .   Elizabeth must counter threats from within , such as the powerful Thomas Howard , 4th Duke of Norfolk , and from the armies of Mary of Guise garrisoned in Scotland . She also faces plots from Rome directed by Pope Pius V. Assisted by her `` spymaster '' Francis Walsingham , she puts down the threats both internal and external , ruthlessly executing the plotters . Elizabeth eventually ends her and Robert 's affair and resolves to marry nobody except England . The film ends with Elizabeth assuming the persona of the `` Virgin Queen '' , and saying : `` I am married to England , '' initiating England 's Golden Age .

negative: Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia Elizabeth Stuart ( 19 August 1596 -- 13 February 1662 ) was , as the wife of Frederick V , Elector Palatine , Electress Palatine , and briefly , Queen of Bohemia .

She was four years older than her brother Charles , who became Charles I of England , Scotland , and Ireland .   With the demise of the Stuart dynasty in 1714 , her grandson succeeded to the British throne as George I of Great Britain , initiating the Hanover line of succession . The reigning British monarch , Elizabeth II , is Elizabeth Stuart 's direct descendant of the 10th and 11th generation through different paths . Most other European royal families , including those of Spain , Denmark , Norway , Belgium , Luxembourg , the Netherlands and Sweden , as well as those formerly of Greece , Romania , Germany , and Russia , are also descendants of Elizabeth Stuart .

negative: Catherine Parr Catherine Parr ( alternatively spelled Katherine or Katheryn , signed ` Katheryn the Quene KP ' ) was Queen of England and of Ireland ( 1543 -- 47 ) as the last of the six wives of King Henry VIII , and the final queen consort of the House of Tudor . She married him on 12 July 1543 , and outlived him by one year . She was also the most-married English queen , with four husbands .   Catherine enjoyed a close relationship with Henry 's three children and was personally involved in the education of Elizabeth and Edward , both of whom became English monarchs . She was influential in Henry 's passing of the Third Succession Act in 1542 that restored both his daughters , Mary and Elizabeth , to the line of succession to the throne .   Catherine was appointed Regent from July to September 1544 while Henry was on a military campaign in France and in case he lost his life , she was to rule as regent until Edward came of age . However he did not give her any function in government in his will . In 1543 , she published her first book , Psalms or Prayers , anonymously . On account of Catherine 's Protestant sympathies , she provoked the enmity of anti-Protestant officials , who sought to turn the King against her ; a warrant for her arrest was drawn up in 1545 . However , she and the King soon reconciled . Her book Prayers or Meditations became the first book published by an English queen under her own name . She assumed the role of Elizabeth 's guardian following the King 's death , and published a second book , The Lamentations of a Sinner .   Henry died on 28 January 1547 . Six months after Henry 's death , she married her fourth and final husband , Thomas Seymour , 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley . The marriage was short-lived , as she died in September 1548 , probably of complications of childbirth .  After the king 's death in 1547 she was allowed to keep her jewels and gowns and was possibly allowed to keep the title `` Dowager queen '' until her own death , a title that was denied to Henry 's first wife Catherine of Aragon .

negative: Wives of Henry VIII The wives of Henry VIII were the six queens consort wedded to Henry VIII of England between 1509 and 1547 .   The six women who were married to Henry VIII were , in chronological order :   Catherine of Aragon ( marriage annulled , died while detained under guard at Kimbolton Castle , mother of Mary I )  Anne Boleyn ( marriage annulled , then beheaded , mother of Elizabeth I )  Jane Seymour ( died twelve days after giving birth to Edward VI , believed to be caused by birth complications )  Anne of Cleves ( marriage annulled , outlived the rest of the wives )  Catherine Howard ( beheaded )  Catherine Parr ( widowed at death of Henry VIII , remarried to Thomas Seymour )   Henry 's first marriage lasted nearly 24 years , while the remaining five totaled less than 10 years combined .   A common mnemonic device to remember the fates of Henry 's consorts is `` Divorced , beheaded , died , divorced , beheaded , survived '' . There is also a rhyme :   However , Henry did not `` divorce '' two wives , but rather had the marriages annulled . At the time , the laws relating to marriage were under the jurisdiction of canon law , and there was no divorce under canon law . Henry 's marriage to Anne Boleyn was also annulled before her death . So if one accepts the courts ' finding that the annulled marriages had never existed , Henry only had three wives : Seymour , Howard and Parr . So the rhyme would be more like this :   It is often noted that Catherine Parr `` survived him . '' In fact , Anne of Cleves also survived the king , and was the last of his queens to die . Of the six queens , Catherine of Aragon , Anne Boleyn , and Jane Seymour each gave Henry one child who survived infancy : two daughters and one son . All three of these children would eventually ascend to the throne : King Edward VI , Queen Mary I , and Queen Elizabeth I.   Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn , the two of Henry 's queens who were beheaded , were first cousins . Several of Henry 's wives worked in at least one of his other wives ' service , typically as ladies-in-waiting : Anne Boleyn worked in Catherine of Aragon 's service , Jane Seymour worked in Catherine of Aragon 's and Anne Boleyn 's , and Catherine Howard worked in Anne of Cleves 's .   Henry was distantly related to all six of his wives through their common ancestor , King Edward I of England .   Henry and at least four of his wives ( Catherine of Aragon , Anne Boleyn , Jane Seymour , and Catherine Parr ) were portrayed in opera .
