Jane insisted that the king make amends with his daughters, but he would only do so if Mary acknowledged him as head of the Church of England and admit the illegality of his marriage to her mother, Catherine. Under duress, she agreed and although Mary did re-enter the royal court, her religious beliefs made her a lightning rod for conflict. This tension continued through the short reign of Mary's half-brother, Edward VI, who died in 1553 at the age of 15.]]> 2018-02-08 16:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/229652803 Queen Elizabeth I's Reign 211042 https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/229671984       Queen Elizabeth I's reign was often known as the Golden Age or Elizabethan England. In 1558, Elizabeth took the reins of her country after her sister Queen Mary died. She reigned for 45 years. From the age of just 25 by "default," the new Queen took over following the gruesome death of her elder, half-sister Mary. Her death was thought to have been caused by a cancer of some sort. This was thought to be a result of many false pregnancies. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/229671984 Henry VII 211042 https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/231604692  In the late 15th century England was torn by a series of civil wars between two dynasties, the Yorkists and the Lancastrians.

She knew that if she remained childless, the throne would pass to her half-sister, Elizabeth. She needed a Catholic heir to avoid the reversal of the religious beliefs she set on the people. To accomplish this goal, she arranged to marry Philip II of Spain.
       The public response to Mary's marriage was extremely unpopular, but she pressed on repealing many of Henry VIII's religious ways and replacing them with her own.. The enforcement of this law resulted in the burning of over 300 Protestants as heretics. Mary's religious persecutions made her extremely unpopular and earned her the nickname "Bloody Mary."
The marriage to the Spanish king produced no children and Philip, bored with his wife, spent very little time in England and provided no part of his vast New World trade network to the British crown. 
       Childless and ill, by 1558, Mary had endured several false pregnancies and was suffering from what may have been uterine or ovarian cancer. She died in London, on November 17, 1558. Her half-sister succeeded her on the throne as Elizabeth I in 1559. Upon Elizabeth's death in 1603, she was buried alongside Mary.

She was the only child of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, to survive through childhood. She was baptized as a Catholic shortly after her birth. She excelled in music and language. In 1525, Henry named her Princess of Wales and sent her daughter to live on the Welsh border, while he continuously tried to negotiate a marriage for her.
         Frustrated by the lack of a male heir, in 1533, Henry declared his marriage to Catherine null claiming that because he had married his deceased brother’s wife, the marriage was incestuous. He broke relations with the Catholic Church, established the Church of England, and married one of Catherine’s maids of honor, Anne Boleyn.
         After Boleyn gave birth to Elizabeth, she feared Mary would pose a challenge to the succession to the throne and successfully pressed for an act of Parliament to declare Mary illegitimate. This placed the princess outside the succession to the throne and forced her to be the lady-in-waiting to her half-sister, Elizabeth.]]> 2018-02-15 16:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/231999753 Robert Dudley 211042 https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/232083660 Although Queen Elizabeth I never married she had fallen for her childhood friend Robert Dudley. They both met in class as children and grew up to be friends. They were both very intelligent, and perhaps a perfect match. However, Robert had been married twice throughout his life and neither of which had been the Queen. 
       As his second wife fell ill Elizabeth I planned on marrying him if, said wife, were to die. However they never did wed and Elizabeth I never got married throughout her life. ]]> 2018-02-15 18:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/232083660 211042 https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/232097498 2018-02-15 19:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/211042/z63u68szohpc/wish/232097498
