...puritans and the fragility of the structure of Elizabethan parliament, furthermore it is also incredibly important to consider Elizabeth’s response and own personal views towards puritans and perhaps the true reason for the perceived ‘phantom’ threat lying within the harsh reactions of Elizabeth. Due to the fragile nature of the government Elizabeth had inherited it was vital for it to remain sable and deal with stressing issues such as religion with great care, Elizabeth had 3 options when it came to religion, maintain catholic religion Mary had set up, create moderate form of Protestantism or create a more radical Genevan style reform. The influence of puritans’ on parliament can be perceived as a threat to stability as their influence greatly undermined the authority of the queen. With the support/sympathy of various key figures; Strickland, field, Dudley, Burghley and perhaps the most notable Edmund grindal, who’s support of prophesying highlights the danger puritans’ held in the eyes of Elizabeth. His refusal to ban the act led to his suspension and house arrest. Such quick and harsh response from the queen implies how seriously she took prophesying as a threat to stability. His letter to Elizabeth may be the reason fro such judgement, grindal puritan views seep through and imply the very same ideas as Knox “monstrous regiment of women” which conferred with grindals threatening response to the queen “remember madam, that you are a mortal creature.” This is not only belittling...

...Queen Elizabeth is a leader that possesses many great qualities. She had a vision that earned her people’s love through respect, understanding and being unprejudiced. As a leader, she accepted the opinions of her advisors but at the same time thinks rationally and decides on what is the right thing to do for her people and country. In the beginning, Queen Elizabeth and her ministers were discussing how Mary Stuart, a devoted Catholic, is the Queen of England in waiting. Her ministers advised her that all Catholics are traitors and their loyalty is to the Pope of Rome. It was right for Queen Elizabeth to say that she will not punish her people for their belief but only for their crimes. This showed that she understands that by allowing people to live freely, it creates joy and happiness among the people. This in return will allow her to earn the love from her people. She is able to show that she wants to maintain a good relation with her loyal Protestant supporters and her ministers; she made decisions for the good of her people and country even though some might not agree with her decisions. From this situation, it is clear that the she was able to adopt fairness and transparency. She was able to make practical decisions about issues, and treated everyone equally (Brimacombe 2000). During one of the greatest wars known in history – the English defeat of the Spanish Armada. Queen Elizabeth truly stands out as an organized, brave, honest yet motivating leader. Queen...

...The personal beliefs of Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I explain the religious changes of the years 1547 and 1566, How far do you agree with this opinion? E Duffy states ''men breathed easier for the succession of a catholic queen'', which implies that Edward was imposing his own protestant beliefs strongly onto the realm, despite their more catholic views, through his religious policy. This therefore suggests that personal beliefs can explain the changes in religion from 1547. However in order to assess the validity of this claim it is important to consider the aspect under investigation, the personal beliefs of the monarchs, views of the people, foreign influences on religion and the finances. The stronger evidence so far seems to suggest that personal belief was the main reason for religious change. However, the answer is never clear cut and may depend on the monarch in power and time. It can be argued that Edward's religious policy was based on his own personal beliefs of Protestantism. Edward was raised staunchly catholic as his step mother Catherine Parr had him educated with protestant views by scholars. However, other factors did determine the religious changes during his reign as the 1549 Prayer Book under Lord protector Somerset was far from staunchly protestant. This is due to Somerset's fear of Charles V and the threat Spain posed to England if they were too radically protestant , as well as learning from the mistakes Henry made leading to The Pilgrimage of Grace...

...Assess the view that the Roman Catholics were a serious threat to Elizabeth I and the church she established. Despite the fact that some Catholics did pose a threat towards the Elizabethan Church, this was never serious or organised enough to abolish the church and threaten the Queen. Many historians such as Diarmiad MacCulloch, Christopher Haigh, Wallace MacCaffrey and Alan Dures have engaged in debate about this topic, coming to different conclusions. As some historians such as MacCulloch and Haigh argue, the Roman Catholics were never a serious threat to the church because it was merely an upper class movement under the missionaries, and was unable to influence the masses. On the other hand, MacCaffrey and Dures have argued that the Catholics were a real threat to the church as Elizabeth’s attempts to suppress opposition were unsuccessful, and there were many serious plots against her life. As this difference in opinion shows, there are a range of opinions as to whether events such as the arrival of Mary Queen of Scots, the 1570 Papal Bull of Excommunication and the 1583 Throckmorton Plot were serious threats towards the church itself. Furthermore, the threat to the Elizabethan Church differs amongst different groups of Catholics, as the Jesuits arguably posed more of a threat than more mediocre groups such as the Church Papists. Nevertheless, although some Catholics did pose a serious threat to the church, this was not the case for the majority of Elizabeth’s reign. As...

...The rise of Puritan ideology in Elizabeth I’s Church and Government was potentially an extremely dangerous threat to her power. Although it may be perceived that Elizabeth was continuing to control her position soundly, it does not mean that the Puritans did not pose a threat to royal authority. Nonetheless, attempts to promote Puritan ideas were indeed crushed quickly and effectively by Elizabeth, which meant that the movement never got the chance to develop into anything highly damaging and serious. Despite this, it would be wrong to say that the Puritans never caused havoc or danger to the Queen herself and the Church. This will be exampled by 3 documents which highlight the Queen’s rapid actions to prevent this ideology from becoming reality. There was undoubtedly an increase in extreme Protestant views during Elizabeth I’s reign and although this was the belief she supported, it was never her intention to enforce it to that extremity. She grew anxious at the amount of people supporting this movement and as a method of supressing it the Government passed a law as indicated in Source 19, from the Act against Seditious Sectaries in 1593, stating that “if any person above the age of 16…go about to move or persuade any of her Majesty’s subjects or to deny her Majesty’s power and authority…the person offending shall be adjudged a felon.” It becomes clear from this that the Queen thought the Puritans were threatening enough for Parliament to create a new law that included severe...

...1. Introduction "I am called the Virgin Queen. Unmarried, I have no master. Childless, I am mother to my people. I am the queen, I am myself." This quote from the movie “Elizabeth: The Golden Age“ describes the fascination about Elizabeth I of England in few sentences. A woman, who could prevail in a male-dominated society. A woman, who waived her own fortune for the sake of her subjects. A woman, who influences the national pride of the English even today. So it is not surprising that there is plenty of literature, opera and movies about Elizabeth I. The following term paper examines three movies, where Elizabeth I is the protagonist. “Elizabeth“, with Cate Blanchett in the leading role, is about the days of her youth. The 1998 movie shows the development of a young princess, who was crowned after the death of her half sister Maria. The first years of her reign are very turbulent, because the creation of a Protestant Church by her father Henry VIII and the return to Catholicism under Maria split the nation. The inexperienced Elizabeth has to determine which religion should be the official one in order to prevent a civil war. Meanwhile her consultants give her advice to keep the line of succession by marriage. But to whom shall she entrust her heart and kingdom? At the end of the movie all problems are solved and Elizabeth creates the icon of the “virgin queen“. Nine years later, the sequel of the movie from 1998, “Elizabeth: The Golden Age“ was released. She is in her 26th...

...Mocarski 2 Queen Elizabeth I A Queen With the Heart of a King One whom is to be considered, by many, as the greatest monarch in history would be Queen Elizabeth I. She is considered to be one of the important reigns in the world. Although she was a success, Elizabeth was not always viewed as a strong and capable woman. Many questioned if she would be able to overcome the problems that were essential in becoming the queen of England. Queen Elizabeth I is the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn (his second wife). She was born at the Greenwich Palace on September 7, 1533. To King Henry VIII, Elizabeth was his second daughter. His first born daughter was Mary, she was the daughter of Catherine of Aragon. King Henry VIII was not too thrilled...

...As a child Elizabeth Jennings hated Catholic school and had all the characteristics of a juvenile delinquent; thieving, lying, and stealing little bits of Hornsby trains. She recalled: “My mother said I’d end up a murderer” (Hays). Jennings works were influenced by her religious views, her childhood, and her friendship with family members and other writers. Elizabeth Jennings was born on July 18, 1926, in Lincolnshire, England. Both Elizabeth and her older sister attended a Catholic school. After roughly four years of attending the Catholic school Jennings’ father withdrew her and enrolled her in to the Anglican Hyde School. It was there that, at the age of thirteen, Jennings discovered G. K. Chesterton's "Battle of Lepanto" in an English...

...Composers of texts often seek to present their opinions in such a way that influences the responder to agree or empathise with the composer. In both Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Shekhar Kapur’s Elizabeth, the composers’ perspectives on these historical figures and events are portrayed in unique ways which contradict and are contradicted by perspectives from other sources. Reasons for these differences can include the form of text and context of the composer, both of which affect not only the composer’s perspective, but the way in which they present it. Both Julius Caesar and Elizabeth are forms of text which serve primarily to entertain the audience. Even supposedly ‘historical’ plays and films do not have to adhere strictly to the ‘facts’ of history, but often stray from such accuracy in order to enhance entertainment value. For this reason, the viewpoint they may present on historical events or personalities can often conflict with accounts from other, more strictly historical, sources. For example, Julius Caesar was largely based off and echoes Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, and yet the two differ notably in many respects, such as the depiction of the funeral oratories given by Brutus and Antony. In Plutarch’s history, events are recounted very drily and matter-of-fact: “Brutus… came down from the capitol, and spoke to the people.” There is no direct quotation, details of the speech, or emotive language. Shakespeare on the other hand has both men give a detailed and well-crafted...

...Elizabeth1 in English history? As a figure in English and international history, the iconic Elizabeth 1 was a skilled politician and a force to be reckoned with throughout her lifetime in English royal politics. When she ascended to the throne of the nation she oversaw the development of a second tier country into a first tier nation on the forefront of political and economic world geopolitics and economics. She restored a floundering sense of national pride to the people of England and employed such an effective communication style throughout her endeavors that her influence is still studied as a core of MBA curriculum in the universities of today.[1] To properly respect the veneration surrounding the story of Elizabeth in English history, it is important to understand the tumultuous turn of events that eventually brought her to the throne. Recognized today as one of England's most effective, respected, and long-seated monarchs, her path to the throne was never assured, and certainly was not without conflict. It is partly because of her compelling leadership and partly because of her unlikely rise to power that her time on the throne is so impressive today. Elizabeth was born in 1533 to King Henry VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn. A particularly unique and tumultuous time in the religious landscape of England, Anne was two months pregnant with Elizabeth when Henry split England from the Catholic Church over their unwillingness to grant a divorce from...

...From the moment Elizabeth became Queen in 1558, there was one question that everyone was asking; who will the Queen marry and name successor? It was assumed that one of the first things Elizabeth would do, would be to select a husband to help her govern England, and more importantly, to produce a protestant male heir. Even though Elizabeth was Queen, members of the Privy Council still felt that it was their right and duty to persuade Elizabeth that marriage was the best notion. Elizabeth was the last of her dynasty, and it was thought natural that her main concern would be to provide a child to perpetuate her rule of England. Despite having numerous suitors at home and abroad, Elizabeth never married. Elizabeth had a huge sense of duty to her country but whether she ever really intended to get married is open to debate. Finding a suitable partner was a major factor in Elizabeth’s decision not to marry. Any English candidate would be of non-royal stock and subject to destructive rivalry from other noble families. A foreign husband might well cement an important strategic alliance but could also sacrifice England’s best interests in the future. The religious affiliation of the prospective husband was also a key factor because it could disrupt the delicate balance arrived at by the Elizabethan Church Settlement. Out of all her liaisons, the most overt and most certain was with her Master of the Horse, Lord Robert Dudley, whom she named the Earl of Leicester in 1564. They had been...

She inspired great a long lasting devotion among her subject and stills remains a figure of great interest today. Queen Elizabeth I was the leader of one of the greatest country during her time, Great Britain. The world has had many great monarchs throughout time and Queen Elizabeth I is one. The Mystique of Elizabeth had a great impact among her people and still influences people today. It inspired such great and long- lasting devotion among her subjects and throughout history. It has baffled many highly regarded historians. Her quality during this time was amazing because she was a remarkable leader and had extraordinary talent. Her words stirred national pride and confidence in her countrymen. This is important to remember because she was a woman of her word and everything she did was for her people. (Weatherly) (pg. 10-13) The Mystique of Elizabeth is important not only because this time was such a great impact on people but because of The Elizabeth Age that went on. The Elizabeth Age is not something that is dead and apart from us; it is alive and all round us and within us. Whenever one goes in England there are visible memorials of what those men and women were when they were alive. When the language is spoken today something of the tradition goes on in them. The Elizabeth Age was important...
