Last week, we watched Elizabeth – a historical drama about Queen Elizabeth I of England.
I don’t always like drama movies but this was wonderful. Queen Elizabeth I was born in
Greenwich on 7 th September, 1533. Her mother died when she was only two years old. She was
an intelligent child and she was really good at languages and music. When she was 25, she
became Queen of England. She was a great leader. Elizabeth built a great navy – the army at sea.
In 1588, the English Navy fought against the Spanish Armada invaders and they won the battles.
People called this period the Golden Age because England was a very rich and powerful country.
Elizabeth was queen for 44 years. She didn’t marry and had no children. She died in Richmond,
England on 24 th March, 1603.
