Wanting his daughter to be queen, he planned to take over England. Jesuits in London plotted with Philip to assassinate the queen, hence the "Babington plot". She was later than almost assassinated by Thomas Babington as he stormed inside he cathedral and points a pistol at Elizabeth, and later finding out there were no bullets in the gun. The people involved in the Babington plot were imprisoned as well.

Though the ingredients are not necessarily beneficial for the skin as it contains vinegar and lead. Raw eggs are sometimes applied to the face as well, for it to look 'glazed'. ]]> 2017-11-06 18:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/farah_hanum_fuad/2b913vrcaonr/wish/204032576 Clothing/Costumes farah_hanum_fuad https://padlet.com/farah_hanum_fuad/2b913vrcaonr/wish/204038470 Because this movie is set approximately in the 1970s and 80s, the clothing Elizabeth was wearing were very heavy, high quality gowns any women could get at that time. There are a lot of colors that range from blue to golden. 
  • Full skirts were draped over a farthingale, a frame that made the skirt look large and full. Rich, elaborate materials were used during the Elizabethan period
  • She used a lot of jewels and she loved accessories with pearls: which are a symbol of virginity – the Virgin Queen.
  • the crown symbolizes her royalty. Her long hair would also symbolize virginity. It also seems like the crown is secure and safe there as if it is where it belongs. Pearls also adorn the transparent veil which hangs over her shoulders and her necklace, bracelets and earrings are also with pearls.

"This movie equates Catholicism with some sort of horror-movie cult, with scary close-ups of chanting monks and glinting crucifixes" Stephen Whitty said.  The director had then declared that the movie was anti extreme forms of religion. "It's anti an interpretation of the word of God that is singular, as what Elizabeth had thought as well because during this era, Philip had said that he wanted to turn the world into a very pure form of catholism. ]]> 2017-11-07 02:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/farah_hanum_fuad/2b913vrcaonr/wish/204182153 The Arts farah_hanum_fuad https://padlet.com/farah_hanum_fuad/2b913vrcaonr/wish/204183253 Due to their new money and new towns, there was space for art to flourish.

Elizabethan inn-yards were one of the first venues for English theatre. These inns, which provided lodging and entertainment, attracted traveling actors and troubadours, or poets who wrote verse to music. Soon crafty entrepreneurs realized there was money to be made by producing plays and then teaming with inn owners to charge for the performances. One of the first Englishmen to jump on this profitable performing bandwagon was James Burbage. History gives him credit for being among the first producers of Elizabethan commercial theatre. 

These inn-yards, being very profitable, soon grew into full-blown theatre houses. Among the most famous is the Globe Theatre of London. This theatre, built to mimic the Roman amphitheaters, was home to the original works of London's most famous playwrights.

Seeing these changes, Elizabeth very smartly encouraged the new, growing middle class to continue to engage in agriculture; however, it moved from peasants farming lands for wealthy nobles to independent citizens working for wage. With the increase of wool, the face of farming changed which brought about the process of land enclosure. ]]> 2017-11-07 02:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/farah_hanum_fuad/2b913vrcaonr/wish/204183701 History of Elizabeth farah_hanum_fuad https://padlet.com/farah_hanum_fuad/2b913vrcaonr/wish/204184799 Early life
Born into a royal family in September 7, 1533, Elizabeth I grew up in a complex environment, and sometimes difficult circumstances. She was declared illegitimate through political schemes. Though she was born with two parents, King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, he was only two years old when she lost her mother due to being beheaded which was ordered by King Henry after accusing her of adultery and conspiracy. Before long, Elizabeth and her older half-sister Mary were declared to be illegitimate as her father sought to pave the way for a male heir. The two were later reinstated as potential heirs. Their half-brother Edward was born in 1537 by Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour.

Elizabeth was raised much like any other royal child. She received tutoring and excelled at languages and music. After her father's death in 1547, Elizabeth spent some time under the care of her stepmother Catherine Parr. Parr hired tutors on Elizabeth's behalf, including William Grindal and Roger Ascham.

Crown Queen
After finding herself embroiled in political intrigue with her sister Mary, and their cousin, Lady Jane Gray being in line for the crown, she had finally took reins of the country in 1558. She inherited a number of problems stirred up by Mary such as religious fractions by trying to restore England to Roman Catholicism and ordering the execution of 300 Protestants as heretics. Elizabeth jailed her cousin Mary Stuart, queen of the scotts in 1567 in connection with several assassination attempts, including the Babington Plot. Elizabeth kept Mary imprisoned for nearly 20 years before she finally agreed to have her cousin executed in 1587.

She showed her talents as a diplomat, managing a number of suitors and potential royal matches during her reign.

The Virgin Queen
Mary had made an unpopular choice in marrying Phillip II of Spain, who shared her devotion to the Roman Catholic faith. In the hopes of reuniting their two countries once more, Phillip even offered to wed Elizabeth at one time.

Other suitors for Elizabeth's hand included the king of Sweden, Archduke Charles of Austria, and the future King Henry III of France. She used her availability as a means to political ends, but she never agreed to marriage. She herself seemed to have some interest in a member of her court, Robert Dudley, and their relationship was the subject of much gossip and speculation. Both parties came under suspicion after the mysterious death of Dudley's wife.

Elizabeth, however, seemed to have no interest in sharing power with a spouse. Over time, she cultivated her image as a queen married to her job and her people. For this dedication Elizabeth earned the nickname the "Virgin Queen."

Death
Queen Elizabeth drew her final breath on March 24, 1603, at Richmond Palace in Surrey. With her death came the end of the house of Tudor, a royal family that had ruled England since the late 1400s. The son of her former rival, Mary Stuart, succeeded her on the throne as James I.

While the end of her reign had been difficult, Elizabeth has largely been remembered as being a queen who supported her people. Her lengthy time on the throne provided her subjects with stability and consistency, and her sharp wits and clever mind helped navigate the nation through religious and political challenges. Sometimes referred to as the Golden Age, the arts had a chance to blossom with Elizabeth's support.

- Monarchy
given to the ruler of the nation either the king or the queen. This is the highest ranking and to be in this class you usually had to be born in it. This was also known as the "The Golden age" for those who were in a higher rank such as The Monarch class. Queen Elizabeth was known as one of the best Monarchs in England. Queen Elizabeth ruled for 45 years. She was also considered as a "God" at that time.
- Nobility
People in this class are whole families, with the head of the family such as the father was a duke, earl or a baron. These were rich people who owed large households. This class was how families looked at others are judged. This was where one saw a division between old and new.
- Gentry
this class is for knights, gentlemen, gentlewomen, squires of the kingdom. The major key to becoming a Gentry is wealth. Gentry always worked on having a good amount of land and households. They were not born in to being a Gentry but would make a fortune by having large amount of properties.
- Merchants
Merchants are in the fourth position from the levels of the social classes. They were the main and real growth in the era and made good wealth by making cloth and weaving and trading goods with one another. They made a minim of money. They were neither poor or rich but gained a lot of wealth by their small business. The Merchants were the real helpers that Produced goods for everyone.
- Yeoman
Yeomen made just enough money to live an average life style. These were mostly framers, tradesmen, and craft workers. Though they made some money it was still hard for them to gain medical help and other kinds of support. Yeomen lived a simple life and tried to put their money on expanding their land and improving it.
- Laborers
Lastly there were the Laborers. They were considered as servants or peasants that gained nothing at all. They did all their work manually by hands. They did not own their own land/property and would "rent" in a very low cost homes which were nothing but old broken down rooms. Life for the Laborers were stressful, hard and very difficult to live in.

The Gothic style of architecture moved into the Renaissance style of architecture. And the first Renaissance style architecture in England was Hampton Court. Hampton Court was built by Cardinal Wolsey between 1514 and 1528. The style had shifted from the pointed, ornate Gothic style to the plainer Renaissance style which was symmetrical. The symmetry was displayed in both the architecture and the gardens. The emphasis was placed on a horizontal rather than vertical line. Hampton Court also boasted wonderful marble floors instead of the rushes used as floor coverings during the Medieval era. The Renaissance interest in astrology was also included with a huge clock which was an amazing feature of Hampton Court.

Upper Class Houses and Mansions
Upper Class houses of the wealthy followed a similar renaissance style of Elizabethanarchitecture. Stone and expensive bricks were used for durability and appearance ( as opposed to the timber and wattle of Lower Class houses). Classic Greek and Roman architecture was admired by the Elizabethans and sometimes great columns framed the entrances of many great Elizabethan houses. One of the most impressive houses built during the Elizabethan era which made use of such columns was was the magnificent Hardwick Hall. This great, palacial building was built by the Countess of Shrewsbury, known as Bess of Hardwick (1521 - 1607). Bess started her life relatively poor. She married four times and was the second most powerful woman in England, next to Queen Elizabeth. Hardwicke Hall was truly magnificent, four storeys tall with prolific plaster work. One of its major features was many glass windows. The windows created such a wonderful sight that they were immortalised in and old English Rhyme:'Hardwick Hall - more glass than wall'Another great house built during the Elizabethan era between 1555 and 1587 was Burghley House which was built for Sir William Cecil (Lord Burghley).

Elizabethan Castles
The crenellations which featured in medieval castles were no longer included for practical defensive or offensive reasons. The feudal system had broken down and the monarchy no longer relied on great and powerful Lords. The emergence of such a great noble would have been seen as a threat to the monarchy. Elizabethan mansions emphasised luxury and comfort - not power and dominance. Artificial crennelations purely for show ere allowed to be built in private houses, but only with the permission of the reigning monarch

Churches
The Medieval obsession of building numerous churches ceased in the Elizabethan era. The Medieval Churches had been well built and most villages and towns boasted a local church. Religion was an important part of the life of Elizabethans - failure to attend church on a Sunday was against the law of the land and resulted in a fine. But the building of additional churches were deemed unnecessary

Tudor / Elizabethan Houses
The actual architecture of Middle class houses was similar to traditional medieval styles. But Elizabethan Houses were framed with massive upright, vertical timbers. These vertical timbers were often supported by diagonal timbers. The wattle walls were daubed with mortar and whitewash was then applied. Other features of the Elizabethan house were high chimneys, overhanging first floors, pillared porches, dormer windows and thatched roofs gave Elizabethan architecture its striking effects. The distinctive Black and White Tudor / Elizabethan Houses were created.

the prevalence of bonds between lords and free dependents (vassals), which were forged by the lords’ bestowal of property called ―fiefs and by their reception of homage from the vassals. These bonds entailed the rendering of services by vassals to their lords (military obligations, counsel, financial support) and the lords’ obligation to protect and respect their vassals. 

The terms feudalism and feudal system enabled historians to deal summarily with a long span of 
European history whose complexities were and remain confusing.

  • Credited with the important invention Galileo Galilee who invented things such as the telescope and a variety of laws and theories that include the laws of the pendulum and the laws of dynamics.  Two other influential scientists that lived during this time include Kepler, who is famous for his discoveries in astronomy, and Vesalius who was a famous anatomist, physician and author. 

  • Although many scientific discoveries were made during this period; science was not aided by the King or government.  In fact many scientists have fallen victim to the charges of witchcraft or mutiny towards the king and put to death during this time period. Even Galileo was put to death and the true importance of his inventions and theories weren't truly recognized until later in life.       

  • Throughout the Elizabethan Era, innovations and inventions propelled the technological standards of the average homeowner. Some of these inventions helped to educate the population in schools, and allowed people to learn more about their world and the mysteries and enigmas that it is drowned in. 

  • All of these technological advancements and innovations were created by the several famous scientists and thinkers.  A few of the more notable and famous scientists and thinkers, such as Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Andreas Vesalius, made a very large impact on the technological advancements in the era.
