Elizabeth I, Queen of England, 1533-1603

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6c35nv7 (person)

Elizabeth, daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn was born at Greenwich on 7 September 1533. She was the half-sister of the elder Mary (1516-1558) and the younger Edward (1537-1553). In her early years she acquired knowledge of Latin, French, and Italian, and showed proficiency in music. Her governesses and tutors tended to adhere to Reformation principles. Identification with Protestantism aroused the suspicions of Mary, a Catholic, on her succession after the death of Edward, even though she h...

Mary I, Queen of England, 1516-1558

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6gv6dm3 (person)

Mary I (b. February 18, 1516 –d. November 17, 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death. Mary was the only child of Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, to survive to adulthood. Her younger half-brother Edward VI (son of Henry and Jane Seymour) succeeded their father as king in 1547 at the age of nine. When Edward became mortally ill in 1553, he attempted to remove Mary from the line of succession because he assumed she wo...

Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6sc4z4n (person)

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 22 April 1509 until his death in 1547. Henry is best known for his six marriages, and for his efforts to have his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled. His disagreement with Pope Clement VII about such an annulment led Henry to initiate the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal authority. He appointed himself Supreme Head of the Church of England and dissolved convents and monasteries, for w...

James I, King of England, 1566-1625

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6kf2p12 (person)

James VI was born in Edinburgh Castle in 1566, the only son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her second husband, Lord Darnley. As Mary was forced to abdicate shortly after his birth, he acceded to the Scottish throne as an infant and was brought up to be distanced from his mother. He was learned, taught by some of the best tutors available in the Scottish Humanist school, but also deeply superstitious, secretive and something of a misanthropist. He married Anne of Denmark in 1590, though ...
