Elisabeth was born to and always around rich and noble people. Her father was Henry the Eighth and her mom was Jane. When Jane was delivering Elisabeth's brother Edward there were complications and she died a couple of days later. Elisabeth also had a sister named Mary. Mary was always second to Elisabeth until Henry the Eighth died from disease. Elisabeth had a young brother named Edward. Even though he was only ten when the king died he became the heir and the new King of England. This all happened in 1574. Edward was only ten when he became the king of England. However in that same year Philip became sick as well and died later that year. Mary became the queen of England after Edward had passed away. Mary married Philip of Spain. This marriage did not turn out do well. Philip ends up going back to Spain and Mary is kept prisoner in the tower of England. After this Elisabeth finally became the queen of England in 1558. She was only 25 years old when she became queen. She is going to be the most successful and loved queen of England.
