The way she ruled created a different perspective on what males thought of females back in the day. England was for once rejoicing in joy and happiness after the reign of “Bloody” Mary was over after her death. With Queen Mary’s passing, it was now upon her half-sister, Elizabeth, to take over her reign and serve in a new way. Queen Elizabeth wanted to rule in a different manner and create a more appropriate role model for female rulers since her sister’s wasn’t enough. However, there was also a deep prejudice with female rulers, as males thought they were inferior compared to them; males thought they had neither the intelligence or the strength to survive in the world. Ironic. Then, the author goes into how Queen Elizabeth has had such a successful reign; being single was one of her success factors. Apparently, in more research, the reason she didn’t marry was because it allowed her for more foreign policy advantages. Another ruler or king would mean more enemies in her eyes. She could also use her charming, or as described by many people, to take advantage of many people into doing her bidding, Everyone adorned her unlike her half sister, Queen Mary. Elizabeth was so important to society, because she changed the view point for many people. Especially after her successful ruling, male’s viewings of females changed and females had a chance to prove themselves to be different. "“Whereas Mary had confirmed such prejudices during her brief, disastrous reign, Elizabeth set out to confound them. Although she shared her male subjects’ views on the inferiority of women, she saw herself as an exception and was determined to stamp her authority upon all aspects of her court and government.”" In general, she used her diverse way of ruling to get what she hoped to achieve for.]]> 2018-05-09 08:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/vluong101/g2i8kgugg97w/wish/259188440 vluong101 https://padlet.com/vluong101/g2i8kgugg97w/wish/259188964 Before leaving her throne, Queen Elizabeth made many beneficial advantages and differences to the society. In the article, “Queen Elizabeth I”, Brenda Lewis states, “Queen Elizabeth I and her times have left behind an extraordinary image of a dazzling era of excitement and achievement, nearly superhuman heroes and daring deeds, with the Queen, larger than life, radiating inspiration at the centre of it all.”. This quote elaborates on the queen’s progress and leadership skills of turning England into a better place since at the beginning of her reign, the society was debt-full. The previous clearly shows that the author believes Queen Elizabeth had left a great mark on England by using words such as, “dazzling” and “extraordinary”. Another example of Queen Elizabeth making a difference in the society was when she was able to maintain peace with the English and express the importance of Catholicism. This reflects on the queen’s leadership skills and dedication. ]]> 2018-05-09 08:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vluong101/g2i8kgugg97w/wish/259188964 vluong101 https://padlet.com/vluong101/g2i8kgugg97w/wish/259189035 This speculation has been at question for over four centuries, why has Queen Elizabeth the first never married? During her time, it was considered dangerous and out of place to not have a king to the queen, but to Queen Elizabeth it seemed like the rightful yet smart thing to do. Although she never married, suitors from English courtiers to foreign princes were still in her interest and “kept them in a state of permanent expectation and even lust.” Where in reality, she only kept foreign princes in hope to get foreign advantages, like an outing of war or any other conflict that would have to do with another kingdom. “This prevarication was a deliberate policy on the Queen's part, since by keeping foreign princes in hope, sometimes for a decade, she kept them friendly when they might otherwise have made war on her realm.” Also the English were all generally prejudice towards queens marrying foreign princes. However if she married an English chap then jealousy would break out and an inner war would be caused. Elizabeth was also in fear of losing her position of that much power to a King, she wanted to rule by herself and not have anyone interfere just because of a relationship. She was, however, at near death at one point due to a sickness, yet she still didn’t marry; shows how determined she was to maintain her status of the “Virgin Ruler”.]]> 2018-05-09 08:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/vluong101/g2i8kgugg97w/wish/259189035 vluong101 https://padlet.com/vluong101/g2i8kgugg97w/wish/259189086 In English history, when speaking of respected monarchs, Queen Elizabeth would be one of the first people to cross your mind. In the article, “Queen Elizabeth I: Biography, Facts, Portraits & Information”, Marilee Hanson says, “Her sense of duty was admirable, though it came at great personal cost.”. This quote reflects on Queen Elizabeth as an honorable moral because in the quote, the author is saying that although her leadership led her to getting into many circumstances, she continued doing what she had to do as a queen and for her nation as well. Another example that can be used to demonstrate Queen Elizabeth as an admirable monarch is how she ruled over the nation on her own for nearly half a century even though most people encouraged her to get married and allow him to become king. ]]> 2018-05-09 08:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vluong101/g2i8kgugg97w/wish/259189086 vluong101 https://padlet.com/vluong101/g2i8kgugg97w/wish/259193001 “Historical Notes: Why Did Elizabeth I Never Marry?”                  The Independent, Independent Digital News and Media, 8 June 1998, www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/historical-notes-why-did-elizabeth-i-never-marry-1163767.html.
