One of the things about Queen Elizabeth that I think it is very interesting her life out of the court.
I've been looking for more information about it and this is what I found:
- After the execution of her mother, she spent many years of her childhood at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire, away from the court.
- Her step mother Catherine Parr tried to make Elizabeth back in the court, but her father didn't consent it.
- She was very smart; she spoke French, Spanish and Italian. She also knew Latin and Greek.
- In 1554 she was imprisoned, accused of having cooperated in Wyatt's conspiracy.
- Despite calling herself the virgin queen, were attributed to her many lovers, like Thomas Seymour, Robert Dudley, Walter Raleigh, Earl of Essex, Robert Devereux, among others.
- Also, there is a novelist, Bram Stocker, he said that the Queen was actually a boy, and that's why she, or he, never get married.
Anyway, there is no doubt that she was an incredible woman (?) and an excellent queen, she knew how to handle an entire kingdom.
She is an example of strenght and intelligence, a woman in a men world, a light in the dark of England.
Would you think that she is an example for everybody?
I think that she is, specially for women, because in a time when just men were available to have the crown and be the leader of a country, this woman appears and change everything, not just for England, but for the world.
