Queen Elizabeth came to the British throne in 1558. Throughout her life, she was asked to marry so that England would have a male heir, but she refused to meet the demands of Parliament by staying the "Virgin Queen" until her death. This paper traces the
life of Elizabeth I from her birth in 1533 as the first child of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. It explores reasons why Elizabeth did not fulfill the wishes of her people by marrying, creating instead a powerful image of female authority and national pride.
